Soup & Chili Sale, Please Contribute!
|

Please help the ECW with their soup and chili sale by making a container or two of your homemade soup or chili to be sold at their sale on February 3. Proceeds provide a "campership" to Crossroads.
Containers will be available in the church office Tuesday through Thursday, 9 AM - 2 PM, or downstairs before and after the Annual Meeting (they will be in the room downstairs and also in the hallway when you leave out the back door).
Please bring your filled containers to the Upper Room before the 10 AM service on February 3rd.
Thank you for your help!

Five Wishes Program offered February 3

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
PART II
RESCHEDULED!
On Sunday, February 3rd
after the 10 AM service, the St. Peter's
Health and Healing Ministry will present the second part of our planning for the future with The Five Wishes.
- The Person I Want To Make Care Decisions for Me When I Can't
- The Kind of Medical Treatment I Want or Don't Want
- How Comfortable I Want to Be
- How I Want People to Treat Me
- What I Want My Loved Ones to Know
There are many things in life that are out of our hands. The Five Wishes document which will be provided at this workshop gives you a way to control something very important--how you are treated if you get seriously ill. It is an easy-to-complete form that lets you say exactly what you want. Once it is filled out and properly signed, it is valid under the laws of most states.
Please come to plan for your future in the undercroft after the 10 am service. Any questions, please call or email Rev. Susan Negrotto (201-637-2962, sgnegrotto@yahoo.com)
