Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

       Welcome to the Pastor’s Post! This will be a weekly enews where I will be sharing what’s going on and what may be coming up soon!

Worship:

Lent is just a few weeks away. We will be offering a morning option for Wednesday services at 11am as well as the normal evening option at 730pm with Soup and Salad offered prior to the evening worship. More information will be shared soon.

For Ash Wednesday, February 22nd, I will be offering "Drive By" Ashes from 7am-9am in the lower parking lot for those who would like to receive ashes and prayer before work. We will also have a 11am service and a 730pm service with soup and salad prior to the 730 service.

Another new element you will see in worship beginning this week is during the children's sermons. I will be adding some children's songs and welcome members to join us in singing. We may eventually create a small children's song book for members, but, as many of you already know, we don't always have children in the early service, so we will have to try this for a while and see how it goes.

Pastoral Care:

      I just wanted to remind you know that we have modified the prayer request button on the website. Now when someone clicks on the button, a Google form will open for additional information to be filled out. One of the new items will include an option to request a pastor call. There will also be an option to send me an email directly. This is in an effort to ensure I have all the necessary information to contact members, family members of members or guest which would like to contact me directly. My intent is to ensure I contact all those who wish to see or hear from me.

Congregational Care (In Reach)

Thanks to those who have reached out to schedule visits. It has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know many of you better.

I hope to see more people sign up for the single person's Love dinner on Valentine's Day. It will be a night of fellowship, fun and games. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. If you're single and would rather not be home alone, come join us!

Outreach

Nothing to report this week. I will be meeting with the committee at their next meeting.

Together, it is my hope that we continue to be called, gathered and blessed to be

a community and instrument of grace for all

sheep of the Good Shepherd.

Always a servant of Christ,

Pastor Rosy <><
