St. John's Weekly Reminders: February 19
Wonder Team Sandwich Makers, Wednesday: Help fight children’s hunger! Come to McPhail Hall at 6 pm and help make 300+ sandwiches and we promise, you’ll be home within the hour.
Presbyterian Women’s Sunday Circle, February 26: All women are invited to come and enjoy fellowship and study, focusing on Matthew 5:8, Psalm 24; and Psalm 51:1-12, at 12:30 pm.
Lenten Class: Everyone is invited to join Pastor Jon in an 8-week Lenten Course called Unbinding the Gospel. The course will begin the first Sunday of Lent, February 26, 4:30 – 6 pm. The study will include 6 weeks of prayer with a prayer partner and 40 days of praying through a prayer journal which will help you move closer to God and grow as a Christian.
Sunday School Class Begins, February 26: Everyone is invited to the new class during the Sunday School hour, meeting in the church library at 9 am to discuss The Gifts of Imperfection by Dr. BrenĂ© Brown. Dr. Brown’s book asks us to lead a Wholehearted Life, which means engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. A life is not built on trying to be perfect, rather, embracing being imperfect and discovering what a relief being imperfect is! It means we can ask for help. We can take risks. We can experience new adventures. We can learn new things.
Go-Texan Chili Cook-off: Now is the time to start looking through your chili recipes to decide which one you will make and bring to our traditional chili cook-off. Are you thinking of making your chili spicy, with beans, no beans, beef or turkey? Do you have a secret ingredient? Cornbread and salads are also wanted. Wear yourfavorite western wear and if possible bring your cooked chili in a crock pot to McPhail Hall on Sunday, March 4. Trophies and ribbons will be awarded. Drinks and desserts will be provided.
Delicious Peace Coffee Available: St. John’s has received a new supply of organic and free trade coffee from the Peace Kawomera Fair Trade Coffee Cooperative, Uganda. See the bookcase outside the church office to make your selection.
