LAST CHANCE: Today is the deadline for signing up for the HOSPICE SPRING BOUQUET sale to benefit Niagara Hospice. Each bouquet costs $10 (please pay Jane Schulz). Bouquets will be placed on the altar on March 17 and can be taken home after worship on that day. A signup sheet is available on the glass case in the chapel.
HELP NEEDED: There are still opportunities available to help with our Lenten Simple Suppers. Main dishes are covered, but there are openings for side dishes, desserts, or drinks. If you can volunteer to assist with this, please sign up on the glass case. Suppers are scheduled to begin on February 21.
FEBRUARY MISSION ENVELOPES will support the local chapter of YOUNG LIFE. This organization is made up of caring, Christian adults who are willing to mentor local teens as they learn of Christ through various activities and meetings. Dick Crawford has been associated with this organization for many years and would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding their work.
YOUNG LIFE will have their annual fundraising dinner at Classics V Conference & Banquet Center on March 14. There is a signup sheet on the glass case for those interested in attending. We will be reserving a table (or two) for Grace members and friends. There is no charge for the dinner, but donations are appreciated. Please see Dick Crawford if you have questions.
TOILET TISSUE MISSION PROJECT: We are accepting donations of toilet tissue for Heart, Love, & Soul through the month of February. While for most of us, this is an item on our grocery list that we put in the cart without a second thought. But for those who are struggling to make ends meet and have to choose between putting food on the table or paying the electric bill, toilet paper becomes a luxury. It’s not unusual for those families to use public restrooms as often as possible, stuff extra tissue into their pockets to use at home, or even substitute a variety of other materials for tissue. If you would like to support this project to help your neighbors, donation tables are available in the narthex and chapel to accept your donations.
CHOIR REMINDER: We will be singing “All We Like Sheep” at this week’s Ash Wednesday service, which begins at 6:30 pm.
FUNDRAISING UPDATE: Due to your generous donations and support of our boiler fundraisers, we have raised $21,939.90 to date. The final cost for our new boiler was $26,930. If you would like to donate toward the remaining $4990.10 to cover the cost, please clearly mark an envelope with “Boiler Fund” and place it on the offering plate. You can also donate online by choosing “special mission” and specifying “Boiler Fund”.
