Lenten StudyThis is my first event as fellowship chairman. I'll be trying to follow in the footsteps and keep the momentum going that Linda Faulk has established. She did an awesome job as chairman and it is hard to follow her examples.
Reverend Jan will be leading evening Lenten study on Wednesdays. Fellowship committee is inviting our friends to take turns providing a light soup & salad meal before the studies in Fiesta Hall. Sunday, March 3 we will pass a signup sheet for you to sign up for your favorite Wednesday.
March 6 (Ash Wednesday), March 13, 20, 27 and April 3, 10 and 17
Thank you in advance,Frank Westfall

Do You Need a Ride to Church?Did you know that the Deacons offer rides to church? If you need a ride, please contact, Marcia Westfall 887-1522, Lisa Capell 706-2249, Becky Raines 236-6072 or Tiger Lily 571-5275 to make arrangements.
Intentional Communal PrayerThe Session is asking everyone in our Church Family to join in an Intentional Communal Prayer every day. Join us by saying the following prayer - or a prayer of your choosing - at the start or the close of each day.
Dear God, help us. Help us to be the light of Christ to the people of our community. Help us to be guided by the Holy Spirit to minister to those who need Your healing touch. Help us to grow in wisdom and faith; help us to grow in numbers. We praise and thank You for the strength to follow You on the path You lay before us. May our church be renewed and revived to do Your will. Amen.
Per Capita AssesmentThe Per Capita assessment for 2019 is $30.08. This is calculated by adding up the administrative costs of running General Assembly, Synod, and Presbytery and dividing by the number of Presbyterian members. When compared to the administrative costs of other non-profits, this is actually quite low. Consider voluntarily contributing to cover the cost of your fair share of the administrative costs of an entire denomination!
