Happy Birthday to Wesley Kimmet (January 3) and Kelly Bruggeman (January 7).

Happy Anniversary to Woody and Sharon Hahn (January 3).

If you would like to contribute to either the Food Bank or the Little Library/Pantry, please leave donations in the narthex.  (Microwave soup cups would make a nice addition to the pantry during this cold weather.)

$600 was given for our Homeless Outreach.  Thanks to all who donated.  It’s still not too late to contribute.  Please speak with Doris for more information.

If you would like a home visit from Fr. Stephen and/or our Lay Eucharistic Ministers (George & Steve), please contact the church office to arrange an appointment.

The office will be closed Monday, January 2.

Vestry will meet Wednesday, January 18 at 6:00pm.
