Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter.
This month our contributions go to the food pantry at Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church. Consider bringing cereal or macaroni and cheese.

On Ash Wednesday, Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton is at Watermark Books from 7-9 am for the imposition of ashes. We have a full Ash Wednesday service at 7 pm that includes the imposition of ashes and the Lord’s Supper.

This is the first Sunday of Lent. Catherine Neelly Burton is scheduled to preach for the final time before her maternity leave begins.

Worship at 9 am is in the Great Room and is led musically by our band. The style is less formal than the 11 am service. The 11 am service is in the Sanctuary and is led musically by our choirs. The style is more traditional.
There is NO Sunday School on February 7. Instead we have ONE worship service at 10:00 am in the Sanctuary with our
annual congregational meeting to follow. Here’s where you’ll find education and fellowship opportunities at 10 am for the final three Sundays of February.

It’s time to bake and deliver cookies to our community. This is the third year for our cookie initiative, and we’re excited to again offer a blessing to those who work in our city.
In early February a bulletin board will go up by the coffee bar. You’ll sign up to either bake twi dozen cookies, or you’ll sign up for a location to deliver them. Locations include places like: fire stations, public libraries, the hospital ER and more.
If you sign up to bring cookies, you do so on either February 7 or 14. You bring them to the church kitchen and volunteers package them up for delivery. On those same days volunteers pick them up and deliver them during the week.
This is a small but valuable way for us to show some love to our community!
