Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen

A vote will be taken after worship on Sunday, February 17.

A COMMUNITY READ DURING LENT Join the church staff in reading a novel during Lent (February 13 - March 28). We will be reading and chatting about The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. This novel, written by Rachel Joyce, was published in 2012. It is a delightful book that follows the journey of a retired Englishman who begins a pilgrimage to visit a for-mer co-worker who is dying of cancer. As he walks across the English country-side he encounters many interesting people and situations. There should be plen-ty of used copies on the internet and e-versions are also available. Lent is a time of pilgrimage so we will be reading and discussing this joyful and challenging jour-ney to see what we can learn from Harold Fry.

LUNCHEON AND BRIEF TOWN MEETING SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 3: SABBATICAL FOR OUR PASTOR Please make plans to join us after worship on Sunday, March 3. All proceeds from lunch will help send our youth to summer camp in Louisville, Ky. The town meeting will focus on a potential sabbatical for our Pastor during the summer of 2014. The church will need to make a decision by early April about applying for the Lily Endowment's National Clergy Renewal Grant. The brief meeting will offer im-portant details and give the congregation an opportunity to ask questions. The Sab-batical Team and Deacon Board have already begun the dialogue and we hope you will join us.

*CHILDREN AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Today, any school-age child is invited to assist the Deacons as they collect offering. During the last verse of the offertory hymn, noted with an asterisk (*), children are invited to make their way to the front pew to stand in front of a Deacon during the last stanza of the invitation hymn. This Deacon will then guide the child step by step through the pro-cess of collecting the morning’s offering. When the choral doxology has ended, children and Deacons alike return to their seats with family members.
