Laugh Out Loud with Anita Renfroe tickets are still available! Nearly 500 tickets have been sold already to the Women’s Retreat, at AU on March 12. Who will you invite to this wonderful opportunity? Contact Dawn Forbes or go to our website for more information and a link to purchase tickets.

FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE Dads, don’t delay! The Father Daughter Dance is coming quickly (Friday, February 5) and you don’t want to miss this time to share with the special daughter(s) in your life. Cost of the tickets is $30 per couple and $5 for each additional daughter you bring. Grandfathers are welcome, as well! We have a limited number of tickets this year and they are available in the church office and at the information desk after the worship services on January 24 and 31.

We could use a little extra help this year! We’d like a few “circus performers” to be in the hallway as our couples arrive to add to our circus theme. We’re looking for talent like jugglers, acrobats (can you walk on your hands or do a back flip?), or stilt walkers. Maybe you can tie balloon animals or ride a uni-cycle. You get the idea! If you have a talent that could put you “Under the Big Top” and you are avail-able on February 5 from about 5:30 to 6:30 pm, please call Dawn Forbes in the church office.

CREATIVE MOVEMENT, with Mark Koehler, starts on January 26, at 4pm. This is fun for ALL AGES,

not just kids! Enrollment forms are available in the church office, or call Mark (419-281-8948), for more information.

Trinity Kids Toddler Time Attention Parents of Toddlers! Open gym time just for you! All Thursdays in January & February (except Feb. 4), 9-11:00 a.m. in Jack’s Place. Join other moms/dads/caregivers as we let toddlers run off some of their energy on the dreary Thursdays this winter. Call Dawn Forbes for more info.

Attention All Parents of 5th Graders! We will be offering Communion training on Sunday afternoon, February 28, from 1-5:00 with Mrs. Prezioso and some help from Pastor Koch. This is a very important time in the lives of our children as they prepare to receive the wonderful gift God has for us in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. We invite all 5th grade students and their parents to join us for this time of spiritual development. Please call the church office or email [email protected], to register for the class.

Lenten Home Groups will begin the week of February 26, and go for 5 or 6 weeks. The purpose of these is to have fun with friends in the faith, to grow closer to God, and to go deeper in the faith. The groups (5 to 12 persons) will use the book, Mudhouse Sabbath: An Invitation to a Life of Spiritual Discipline. If you would like to be involved in one of these groups, please call Pam Prezi-oso in the church office or email at [email protected].

It was so cold...

It was so cold… hitchhikers were holding up pictures of thumbs!

It was so cold . . . the optician was giving away free ice scrapers with every new pair of eyeglasses!

It was so cold . . . pickpockets were sticking their hands in strang-ers’ pockets just to keep them warm!

It was so cold . . . I chipped a tooth on my soup!

It was so cold . . . Grandpa’s teeth were chattering – in the glass!
