The Chalice
Ash Wednesday, February 13, marks the beginning of our Lenten season, the 40 days of preparation for Easter. This year we are having 40 Days of Compassion as our Lenten theme. Every day for the 40 days of Lent we will have an outreach project that you can participate in to prepare for the miracle of Easter. What better way to celebrate the Resurrection than to give new life and hope to others through our volunteer efforts? So, next Wednesday we invite you to come and experience Breakfast on Boulevard here at our church. Three volunteers can sign up each Wednesday to come and help serve breakfast to our community. Mickey Stufflebean will lead you there, starting at 5:30 am to let you see what this vital ministry does in our community. Then on Valentines Day, Thursday, February 14, we will have a Valentines Day party for the children in our Child Care Center. Come, bring some festive cookies and help these blessed little ones make cards for their loved ones. The fun begins at 11:00 and we will be finished by 1:00. Come for all or part of the party and feel free just to drop by and see what is happening. There is no better way to feel the love on Valentines Day than to help a child. This is also an opportunity to see the wonderful work that goes on each day at our Child Care Center, a vital outreach program for our community. Come by the 40 Days of Compassion table on Sunday in the rotunda and see all of the opportunities coming up during our 40 Days. The calendar is also available on our website. Challenge yourself this Lent to make it to at least one event every week during our 40 Days!
Happy Birthday!

Providing hospitality to members and guests is one of the most important ministries of our church. It requires just the willingness to devote a few minutes each month, share a warm, cordial, welcoming smile, and provide the most basic information about our church and the location of services. Should you have the gift and passion for this ministry, let Randy Huston know at rc.huston@att.net. A sign-up sheet will also be available in the rotunda Sunday, February 10 and Sunday, February 17.
