We would love to WELCOME to our worship on the Second Sunday After the Epiphany, a season for growing in our faith, when we are built up so we can share the light of Christ with those around us.
PRAYERS FOR THE PARISH: We will meet at the Englehardts' this Tuesday. We begin at 7:15 and end at 8:30. Prayer is our most important work. Please remember to pray for our parish and our community.
FAITH PROMISE CAMPAIGN: Our 2013 stewardship campaign is now in the wrap up phase. Jason has extra pledge cards if you forgot to bring yours. If you are not able to turn yours in today, please do so asap.
- VESTRY HIGHLIGHTS: Our vestry met last Monday evening from 7:00 until 9:00 at The Branch's home. Actions included:
- A review of a ministry area analysis led by Gail
- Approval of the purchase of a new projector
- Ongoing conversation about establishing a 24/7 presence in SR
- Discussion about the potential for our first VBS
- Family Camp dates and theme were established
- Date of next meeting is Monday, Feb. 11. Visitors welcome.
WOMEN'S LUNCH: Ladies, please save the date of Sunday, February 3rd for a women's lunch gathering. The location is still TBD, so sign up early and let your wishes be known!
SAVE THE DATE: Our annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper will be held on Tuesday, February 12th. Come enjoy wonderful pancakes, sausage and fellowship. Donations are requested, and will be used to pay our child sponsorship for Gladys, our Ghanaian child. Ash Wednesday services will follow the next day at the church townhouse. Service times are 7 AM and 7:30 PM. The early service is less than 30 minutes long, to get you on your way to work or school.
FAMILY CAMP: Our 4th annual Family Camp will be held June 14 – 16, and the cost is a bit less than last year! Our theme will be "Roamin Roman Holiday." The activities will be a blend of new adventures and old favorites. Sign up early! You won't want to miss the fun!!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: VBS has long been a dream of many at SRC. We are looking at the possibility of having a home based VBS program this summer. Please consider what time of summer would enable your children to come, and whether you would be willing to be a host home or volunteer leader. An information meeting will be scheduled in early February.
