“Whisked away by love so true, together starting a new journey soon.”  Help celebrate Jenna Beeker at her bridal shower on February 7 at Locust Grove from 10:00 am to noon.  Please bring a recipe to share to help their marriage get a tasty start!  If you need a recipe card, please see Eva Beeker.  RSVP to Krista Schrock by January 31 at 269-625-1671.  Jenna is registered at Target and on Amazon.

The next Red Cross Blood Drive will be March 2.

On January 24 at 5:30 PM, 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 purchasing windows and doors for the Loved First school in Uganda.

Georgia Dobberteen has had recent surgery and is now recovering at Optalis Health & Rehabilitation.  She would appreciate cards and visits.  Her address is Rm 104C, Optalis Health & Rehabilitation, 517 S. Erie St., Three Rivers, MI  49093.
