Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. We are forming a new youth ministry group for our 4-6 graders on the third Sunday of the month from 4:00-6:00 p.m. We will meet for the first time this Sunday, February 16. Our time together will include a group devotion, craft time, game time, and a bible blitz to teach our younger kids how to navigate and use the bible. We will also have a family meal during this time. If you are a parent of a youth in 4-6 grade and would like to help with this amazing ministry, please email Gary
Would you like to be a mentor? In Lenten Faith Mentoring our confirmands are paired with adults (non-family members). During this time they will get to know each other and walk alongside  each other sharing their journeys of faith. Mentor groups will meet five Wednesday evenings in Lent beginning on March 4. Mentor meetings will last 30-45 minutes and consist of sharing (highs and lows), reflecting (faith discussion), and prayer. If you are interested in walking along side a confirmand this Lenten season, please contact Gary.
Adult Sunday School. This Sunday, February 16, Pastor Nick begins a new adult Sunday School series titled "Who was Jesus"? Everyone is invited!
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. On Tuesday, February 25, 6:00 - 6:45 p.m., please join the high school youth as they prepare a pancake supper complete with strawberry, blueberry, and chocolate flavors, sausage, and bacon. Donations will benefit the high school mission trip to this summer.
Ash Wednesday. Please join us for a soup supper at 6;00 p.m. prior to worship on Ash Wednesday, February 26. Households are invited to bring a pot of soup to share. Crackers, breads, cheese, sour cream, lemonade, and tea will be provided by the Fellowship Committee (for questions, contact Carol Court or Dee Rose). Ash Wednesday worship will follow at 7:00 p.m.
Cooking oil for GRACE. Please consider bringing a bottle of cooking oil (48 oz., any type) this Sunday for the GRACE Food Pantry to celebrate Valentine's Day and to share God's Love.
56 PJs for SafeHaven. Thanks to the contributions from the women at Abiding Grace, friends, family, and neighbors, the second annual Pajama Happy Hour was a success. We are “Women helping Women”! As God would have it, I was connected by a friend to a lady working directly with SafeHaven shelters. She was saying a prayer for funding to replenish PJs when I called. As we talked it was very apparent that SafeHaven shelters had pajamas at the top of the list of items most in need. God is good! Many thanks!
