Sunday's Sermon

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. |

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! |
