Grace and peace be with you, Friends!
It's been interesting this week, trying to figure out what to wear... should I wear a coat? Or a T-shirt?? Hope you are all healthy and well. I haven't heard any of you complaining of the flu or a bad cold recently.
This past Sunday was Communion Sunday. I wanted us in the sermon to reflect a bit on what being in church can do for us in our faith - a bit like a "charging station" for us when we are then sent out into the world for the week. Sermon is attached.
Our Elders have a meeting tonight, beginning at 5:30. An agenda has been emailed to them.
Deacons - I will be reaching out to you this week to schedule a planning meeting for you this month.
Presbyterian Women have their winter meeting this Saturday, February 10th at noon. Please bring a dish of some kind to share, as we'll start with a potluck luncheon. We have to discuss our 2018 plans!
Also this week -

Tonight at 5;30PM Session meets in the Library
Exercise, Eat and Pray at 9;00AM tomorrow

Did you know? You can preview each Sunday's Scripture readings on the PCUSA website. You can also visit the same place for Daily Devotional readings. Just visit: Presbyterian Mission Agency This Sunday is "Transfiguration Sunday," a fascinating moment when God reveals Jesus to His disciples as the Son of God.
