Chocolate Contest happening on Saturday, February 15th
Arrive at 6:45 for the 7 pm event. You may want to carpool.
It will be held upstairs in the Youth Lounge. Bring entries upstairs via the elevator or stairs. We’ll give entrants a note card to write their name on. They’ll place this under their entry pan. (Please have your entries cut up or in small bites, to be shared easily.)
Later, our judges will hand out playful awards to the winners. You may participate without bringing a dessert.
Let us know if you’re planning on attending. There’s a sign-up sheet in the narthex to help us know how many to expect.
Food of the Month
The first Sunday of the month is fresh food time as we supplement the canned and packaged items our Food Bank gets from ACCESS and the Oregon Food Bank. The February food of the month is “start your day” foods such as individual packets of oatmeal, regular oatmeal, energy or granola bars, or just plain boxes of cereal. The Food Pantry has not been able to get very much of this all-important food.
A good day starts with a good breakfast.
Choir and Choir Practice
Choir practice is at 5:30 PM on Wednesday evenings in the sanctuary.
Classes
Thursday evenings, 6:30 p.m. weekly, Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. A study drawn from three books by Liz Curtis Higgs. Josie Metz leads the class which will be in the office workroom.
It’s a season for anxiety — on the national level, we have a federal government busy restructuring the world we’ve grown used to over the decades. Here at First Presbyterian, we are discerning God’s call for a congregation after our pastor for the last 11-years retired.
Jesus told us that in life we will face troubles (John 16:33). Troubles produce anxiety. We’re going to spend Lent exploring the promise in Philippians 4:6 that with God’s help we are “anxious for nothing.”
