The question in this week's header is one I wonder when I read one of the two scriptures for this Sunday - you probably know the one I am talking about - the one in 1st Corinthians where Paul talks about the members of the body and the importance of each part - the ear, the eye, the hand, the foot. And every time, I wonder: what part am I? If I'm the ear, could I do the part of the foot? We will examine that question in the picture this Sunday during worship when we ordain and install ruling elders to serve as spiritual leaders of this congregation.
That leadership and I have been keeping a close eye on the weather - perhaps you're like me in feeling like it's been changing by the minute! As of this email's publication, the earlier predictions of more snow seem to now indicate not much more than freezing rain (what I like to call "snain" and cold temperatures for today. Saturday and Sunday call for sun and more cold temperatures. Therefore, unless something changes in the next 36 hours, worship will take place both in-person and virtually this Sunday, January 23, at 9:30. As always, please use your discretion about venturing out and stay safe. Should something weather-wise happen, we will alert everyone through email and social media. You're always welcome to reach out to me personally as well.
I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday - whether in-person or virtually! Stay safe and warm!
Pastor Kathryn

As efforts are made behind-the-scenes to start 2022 on a new-and-fresh note, one of the ways the Outreach Committee is asking for the Fellowship Family to participate is by joining Realm. Realm is an online platform of the church’s database that provides for better communication within and through the Fellowship Family, including an online directory, church calendar, and an ability to both RSVP for upcoming events and give online. While the Outreach Committee is going to be hard at work in helping get everyone on board, you can opt-in and complete your online profile now!
