The Children’s Choir was very busy in February. They sang during worship service, February 7th - “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”. They made Valentines for the residents at McKendree and delivered them February 10th. They also entertained them with songs. Sunday, February 14th, they had a bake sale and raised $368 for Haiti Disaster Relief. They are to sing at McKendree again on February 26th for the Birthday Party. Sunday night, February 28th, we are planning a special number for the first Lenten Service which will be held at OHUMC. We are busy preparing some special songs for the Easter season and hope to have our new choir robes. We practice Wednesday night at 6:20 p.m. Come and join us!
Last Tuesday, February 9th, I was doing my morning reading and read Psalm 40. As I finished it and marked it off, it occurred to me that 10% of 2010 is completed. 40 days...Biblically significant, yes?
Due to budget changes for 2010, Carla is asking you to help with the shut-in gifts at Easter. If you are out and about and see something small or flat to fit in a gift bag, buy 15 of them and get them to Carla by April 1st. We usually get 8-10 items for the bags...it could be travel size lotion, puzzle books, gum, ornaments, etc.

Below is a list of apportionments that you might want to adopt. If you have questions regarding their meaning or use, please see the minister.
SECOND SUNDAY of the month is “Can Sunday” The Outreach Center is also in need of canned & staple goods and paper sacks. There are donation baskets outside Fellowship Hall & outside the Pastor’s office. Please remember our neighbors in need.
Let me be perfectly clear. A church that minimizes missional giving is in serious trouble.
Morning worship, Sunday School classes, and our scheduled lunch for January 31st have been canceled due to the weather. We hope to see you Wednesday night!
UPDATE 1/17/2010: Ventriloquist David Turner returned to entertain us and what a wonderful night it was. Attendance was at 85 and thanks to each of you for bringing all the food. David has a great love for Jesus and he shows it through his special friends. Looking forward to his return next year!!

Ventriloquist, David Turner returns for another night of fun and laughter. We will enjoy a covered dish dinner and let the laughter begin at 6:00 PM. David always brings so much of himself and his message is over the top. PLEASE don’t miss this fellowship time together.
UPDATE 1/17/2010: we dedicated 11 prayer shawls to send to the conference to help those who are sick and in need of a warm shawl. Blessings to each of you who participated in this wonderful outreach. Some of you didn’t think you could do it, and SEE, you DID!!!!........thank you!!!!!!!!
-------------
Please have your prayer shawls turned in to Carla by Friday, January 15th so we can have them ready for the dedication on Sunday, January 17th during the AM service.
