Announcements for Sunday, February 8th

NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Exodus 24:8-18, 2 Peter 1:16-21, and Matthew 17:1-9.

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”.

CHURCH COUNCIL will meet on Thursday February 12th at 6:30pm. 

NEXT SUNDAY is the last Sunday to order bouquets in support of NIAGARA HOSPICE.  The order form can be found on the glass case.  Bouquets are $10 each.  Payment should be given to Jane Schulz and can be cash or check (made out to Niagara Hospice).  Bouquets will be placed on the altar on March 15, and can be taken home after worship.

(There will NOT be simple suppers on Ash Wednesday or during Holy week.)  Volunteers are needed to provide food and drinks beginning February 25 through March 25.  Please add your name to the sign up sheet on the glass case if you are able to help.
