Thank you Hutch and Phil for serving with Fr. Paul at the altar!
Thank you Hutch for leading our Morning Prayer services this Sunday!

Team 4 served a delicious lunch after services and the Congregational meeting. They served croisant sandwiches, meatballs in BBQ sauce, fresh veggie tray, chips, and a beautiful King Cake!
Sadly, the only picture I remembered to take was of the last piece of the King cake! It was delicious and I heard that Hutch found the baby Jesus!
Thank you Benita, Ambler, Teresa, and Jessica for the delicious lunch!

Paving the Parking Lot
Between bad weather and illness the paving of our parking lot is slipping at least one more week to the week of January 25 - weather permitting!! We are not paving the lower area around the Memorial Garden at this time but please pray for this in the near future!

Carole's Sister, Betsy
Carole lost her cherished sister, Betsy, this past week. Betsy, on the far right, visited us from Pennsylvania several years ago. We all had a great time getting to know her (and eating at 'The Mad Greek'). Please keep Carole in your prayers as she grieves the loss of her beloved sister.
