From the Stewardship Committee
Thank you to all who have turned in their pledges and Time & Talent sheets.  We are most grateful for your support.  If you haven’t pledged yet or filled out a Time & Talent sheet, forms are available on the counter in the church office.  There has been a wonderful response both in pledging and time and talent returns this year.

Per Capita is assessed each year for every member of the church by the Presbyterian Church USA.  Thank you to all who gave $28 for each communicant member in your family last year.  For 2012 the amount is $29.25.  Thank you for your help with this.

 

A sign up sheet for Coffee Hour is available in Jensen Hall. Please add your name or speak with the office, so that we may continue with this tradition of fellowship.

 

ADULT EDUCATION CLASS 9:00-10:00 AM  “Unbinding Your Heart”
This study is continuing through the season of Lent.  This class will be exploring  the whole area of sharing our faith.  We will be using a book by Martha Grace Reese entitled, Unbinding Your Heart:  40 Days of Prayer and Faith Sharing.  It is a book about “evangelism” for mainline churches.  For more about the book, you can go to:  www.chalicepress.com/Unbinding-Your-Heart-P309.aspx
It’s not too late to join!

 

SCOUT SUNDAY AT GERMONDS
Next Sunday, February 12, during our worship service, we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting with a special Scout Sunday service.  Any Girl Scout, Boy Scout or Cub Scout should wear their scout uniform to the service.  We will also be welcoming visitors from Boy Scout Troop 97 and Cub Scout Pack 46 both of which are chartered by our church.

Woof, Meow, Whimper, Howl

We are asking Germonds for donations of pet food and used blankets, and towels during the month of February and perhaps longer.  There will be labeled bins in Jensen Hall. The road that Hi-Tor has traveled is rapidly coming to a dead-end; there is no further place to “kick the can.”  Please help these abandoned, neglected and abused animals however you can.  Thank you so much.

Primarily Needed:

  • Canned & Dry Dog
  • Canned and Dry Cat Food
  • Clean sheets, towels, blankets, for bedding

Also Needed:

  • Rabbit and Small Animal food or equipment
  • Dog Biscuits
  • Clean Pet Carriers
  • Crates
  • Kitty Litter
  • Gift Certificates to Petsmart or Petco in any amount.

If you donate and you bring us a picture of your pet, we will post it in Jensen Hall.

Many thanks to Rick for all his hard work in updating the drawing of the sanctuary to incorporate the structural changes with the addition of the newly built restroom. Rick also did the original one many years ago.
