Coming Events / Activities
Children’s Choir- from Fr. John
Recently
interest has been expressed in having our children sing in church. So in
February, an opportunity will be provided. There will be no restriction as to
age or reading ability and the music will be kept simple.
Rehearsals
will be for 45 min. following the main Sunday services,
Feb. 5 & 12, and 10 am warm-up for
performance at the 10:30 am service, Feb. 19th. Based on the
response, we will plan from there.

Personal Information Booklet
Many
of the congregation have picked up one of these booklets which have been
provided free of charge. Spear-headed by Judy Nelson, the Pastoral Care Team
developed these and the printing cost of them was covered by a memorial
donation. There are still copies from the 2nd printing available in
the church office and you are encouraged to pick one up for each of the adults
in your family. We have realized that we left out a couple of important items
which you can add in your booklet; i.e. location of passport because it is
supposed to be turned in after your death and computer passwords which should
be listed somewhere. Also, just a reminder to back up your computer information
and indicate whether it is on a stick or a disc and where that is located. If
you have any questions about these or have thought of other information which
should be included, please talk to Judy Nelson, Sandra Kennerley or me. Thanks,
Bonnie Dobson
