Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings to you all on this beautiful, sunny day. I guess if it isn't raining, we might as well look on the bright side and say, "Thank you, Lord for the beauty of your world."
Yesterday after Sunday potluck, Robin, Jean, Marge, Kenna and I took down the Christmas decorations. Thank you, Ladies, for taking the time out to help. I believe we were there until sometime after 2:00PM. What a joy it is to work with a group on a creative project. They also brought out some new decorations to spruce up the sanctuary.
For those who are planning holiday travel, etc.:
Lent starts on March 6th (really the Wednesday before, 3/2)

Tuesday: At noon we will have yoga in Fellowship Hall
Wednesday: Bible Study @ 5:15 PM Fellowship Hall. We are starting to take a look at the church lectionary. To follow along, you can visit the lectionary website at: https://www.presbyterianmission.org/devotion/revised-common-lectionary/
I had a little fun researching the Shakers and Shaker furniture this past week. As a child living in Kentucky, my family would visit the Shaker communities across the border in Ohio and was fascinated by the fact that the people were all but gone. For more information, feel free to visit:
