NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Isaiah 58:3-9a, 1 Corinthians 2:1-12, and Matthew 5:13-20.
ATTENDANCE SHEETS found in the bulletin assist us in making sure that all of our members are being cared for as needed. Please fill one out EACH WEEK and place it in the offering plate.
FEBRUARY MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support YOUNG LIFE, an international youth organization with local chapters. At Young Life, responsible, caring Christian mentors work to bring teens to the knowledge of Christ. We have several members that have participated as teens in Young Life activities, and Dick Crawford has been associated with Young Life for many years. He would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding their mission and local work. If you would like to support Young Life, place your mission envelope in the offering plate during February, or donate online by choosing “monthly mission”.
NEXT SUNDAY IS “SOUP-ER BOWL SUNDAY”: Let’s tackle hunger! While the teams battle it out on the field, we are teaming up to fight for the hungry in our community. Will it be the Seahawks or the Patriots? Our donation tables are ready, and you are invited to CAST YOUR VOTE by placing a can (or two, or three…) of chunky style soup, stew, or pasta on the donation tables next to the team you are rooting for. All donations will benefit the food pantry at Heart, Love, & Soul in Niagara Falls. Let’s huddle together and help our neighbors in need. “For I was hungry and you gave me food…” Matthew 25:35
HOSPICE BOUQUET SALE: A sign up sheet is available on the glass case to order bouquets in support of Niagara Hospice. Bouquets are $10 each. Payment should be given to Jane Schulz and can be cash or check (made out to Niagara Hospice). Deadline for ordering is Sunday, February 15. Bouquets will be placed on the altar on March 15, and can be taken home after worship.
