thought for the day
 

Love can be used either as an essential name of the divine nature or as a personal name of a divine person- then it is the proper name of the Holy Ghost, as Word is the proper name of the Son.

Thomas Aquinas (c.1225-74)

Sunday's Sermon

We invite you to read and reflect on the February 7th, February 14th, February 21st February 28th, and March 7th sermons written by the Rev. Dr. Dong-Ha Kim.

 

Leprosy Mission

Did you know we accept used stamps for the Leprosy Mission?  This is a fundraiser for the organization.  Make sure there is a good border around the stamp.  The stamp (and used spectacles) box is the blue box  which is always in the Narthex.  Tena Bergwall picks up the stamps and makes sure they are ready to go to the Leprosy Mission.

 

Scripture Readings-March 7th

Joshua 5:9-12
Psalm 32
2 Corinthians 5:16-21
Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

 

 

Nursery Help Needed

We are in need of people to help out in the Nursery on Sunday mornings.   In keeping with our “Leading with Care Program”, every effort is made to have two workers in the Nursery at all times.  If you are able to help out with this ministry,  please see Bonnie, or sign up on the sheet provided in the Nursery.

 

Samaritan House/University Food Bank

The item for March is toothpaste.  Thanks to all who donated the 45 bars of soap.

 

Helping Hands

It was a very quiet Monday as there were just around 100 diners and volunteers there to enjoy the salad and spaghetti.  Thanks to the cooks and also to those who have donated money.  We will serve chili tomorrow.

 

Lenten Coin Boxes

It’s that time of year again!  The boxes are very flimsy, so will need to be taped.  There is plenty of time to fill them, as the last day for returning them will be May 2nd.  Be sure to mark the box with your envelope # as the proceeds are part of your givings.

 

Health Kits for Haiti

The kits, 15 in all, have been assembled, packed and delivered to 10,000 Villages where they were very gratefully received.  The extra items were also taken there.  A big thank you to all who participated with such generosity.

SAGES  Event:  March 17th at 2:00 p.m.

First Presbyterian Church

To borrow from an ‘already being used’ title.. IT’S ABOUT TEA!

Join us for an afternoon of interesting facts about TEA.. and TEA things..

TEA cosies, TEA pots, etc. and something about the history of TEA.

This will be a fact and fun-filled afternoon as we hear a presentation by Bonnie Wilson, sample various kinds of TEA, enjoy a delicious treat and each others’ company.  And, being St. Patrick’s Day, you just might see a little green!

Don’t be surprised if you also receive a special gift compliments of the new TEA store in town named ‘It’s About Tea!’,  of course.  And for your information, this TEA Store is owned by Terry Gryschuk and Patti Gerrard who are a part of this congregation.

Others who have seen such presentations give glowing reports!

For this event we are asking $5.00 per person to cover costs.This will be payable at the door.

There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex. 

Please sign up a.s.a.p. as we need to know how many are coming in order to make final arrangements.

Transportation is always available for such events.  Just let us know!

…and for the die-hard coffee drinkers in the crowd… Yes, we will make a pot of coffee for you!
