The bulletin for February 17, 2008 is available by clicking here to view it.

Listed below are a few of the items from this week's bulletin. See the bulletin for more details and to read all of the announcements.

PANTRY: Many people "give up" things of Lent, and they are often things we do not want to have in our lives anyway: smoking, drinking, chocolate, dessert, etc. If we give up those things for 40 days, we will be healthier, but will the world be a better place? Suppose this year, we add something. Add a few items to the weekly grocery cart for the Pantry. You can still give up those negatives that plague your life, but you will also be adding positives to the lives of others.

PORTRAIT APPOINTMENTS: The scheduled portrait appointments are this week, February 18 - 23. Portraits are taken at the white Carriage House of First Presbyterian Church on 522 Park Street. Please keep your appointment. If you must cancel call 975-5995.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS: Throughout Lent there is a weekly Stations of the Cross on Friday at 7:00 p.m. A Cross Bearer, two Candle Bearers, and two Readers are needed. Families are urged to volunteer. Training will be provided. Total time involved is less than one hour. Please sign up in the credenza.

CHRISTIAN FORMATION: Christian Formation classes are in desperate need of volunteers to help set-up and break-down classes on Sunday mornings. It is a ten-minute commitment. Please sign-up in the Commons for any Sunday when you can spare a few minutes to help our youth and catechists.

PARISH SURVEY: A survey has been mailed to the homes of all registered parishoners. In the interest of trying to gain a more detailed understanding of the parishoners' opinions, it has been decided to use multiple, narrowly focused surveys rather than one large survey. The first survey which has been mailed focuses on the adult members of the parish. Please return your survey in the enclosed self-addressed envelope. Contact the parish office if you have not already received your survey.
