ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during January will go to Salvation Army.

The Women’s Mission & Service project for January is hygiene kits for Mennonite Central Committee. A list of needed items for the kits is in your mailbox.  Bags for the kits are on the Women’s Mission & Service counter.  At the meeting this Thursday, Rin Bontrager will be in charge of the kitchen and Louellen Westover will have devotions.

The next Red Cross Blood Drive will be March 2.

Women’s Fellowship Game Night – January 13 @ 6:00 PM – Bring your favorite game, finger foods or snacks to share.  In case the weather is bad on this date, the Game Night will be rescheduled for February 10.

On January 24, the Youth Group will be having a “Souper Bowl” fundraiser.  Instead of having a chili cook off, they will be having a competition for the tastiest soup.  There is a sign-up paper at the Welcome Center.  Please consider entering your delicious soup and try to beat the 2-year reigning winner, Steve Riegsecker. Proceeds go to Winter Blitz at Bair Lake Bible Camp and to their summer trip.
