More cold weather is coming! Please bring cold weather items for the homeless and school children. We need warm hats, gloves/mittens, scarves and socks. They can be gently used or new and all sizes. They will be taken to the men’s homeless shelter and Northwood and Kate Mitchell Schools.  Please put them in the Hope container. Thank you for your generosity.

After leading our praise team from its very start, director Joan Ingwersen is stepping down. Please share your words of thanks with Joan for all that she has done! We are now in an active search for a new praise team director. The director will lead weekly practices, help select music, and oversee the praise team in worship one Sunday a month. There is an appreciation stipend for these services. To ask questions or to receive more information, please speak with Pastor Jenks or Greg Gebhart.

It is a blessing that Katie Schumacher has shared her musical gifts with us and led our Bell Choir. However, she and her husband will be moving out of the area. We sincerely thank Katie for her leadership and for continuing to lead the Bell Choir until they depart. We are now searching for someone to take over the leadership of the Bell Choir. This person will help select music, lead practices once per week, and lead performances during services about once per month, September through May. There is an appreciation stipend for the Bell Choir Director. If you have been gifted with abilities that could be used to lead the Bell Choir, please prayerfully consider this position. For additional information, please speak with Pastor Jenks or Greg Gebhart.

Ash Wednesday (Feb 14) will be here this week and so will the Soup and Pie supper.  The sign-up sheet is posted…we need Soups to warm our hearts and Pies for our sweethearts….also drinks, sides, and of course, kitchen helpers to make the task easy. Please join us.
