Lenten Programs
Beginning on Wednesday, February 25 and each Wednesday through March 25th we will be gathering for our soup, salad, and bread dinner and Lenten program. Each Wednesday we will meet at Ellie Stryker’s home at 6:30 pm. for lessons, good food, and fellowship. There is a sign up sheet in the coffee area for each week’s food.
We are also having our Lenten prayer partners program. If you would like to participate, write down your name and prayer wishes and put them into the envelopes located in the coffee area. Each participant will choose an envelope and secretly pray for that person. On Easter you can reveal your name to the person for whom you have been praying.

Keys to the Church Building
The Locksmith has changed the locks on the front and back doors. Please return your old keys to Rene Siebenschuh or Ellie Stryker. The vestry has identified the church positions that require keys. Others requiring access to the church on occasion should use the lockbox key. If you need the lockbox code, call the Jr or Sr Warden.

Our Annual Parish Meeting and Potluck will be January 25th. If you are responsible for providing a report, please have it to Ellie before January 8th. We will also be electing two new Vestry members. Please give careful consideration to running for Vestry. If interested, let me know. And please take a moment to thank the two Vestry members — our treasurer, Richard Hutchinson and Jackie Youngblood — whose terms are over.
