The schedule of meetings for the Monday and Tuesday Bible Study Groups is as follows: Monday, February 15th, 7:00pm - 8:30pm. No meeting on Shrove Tuesday, February 16th, as it is Pancake Supper Time! Do come and join with us, as we focus our hearts and minds on God’s Holy Word!
A NOTE FROM THE CHOIR: We are currently learning music of the Sewanee Service (to be used in the Celebration 2010 service); in fact, for the past several weeks we have sung the Kyrie. We are learning the Gloria, but, since Lent will soon be here, it will not be introduced until Easter. Shortly we expect to introduce the Sanctus and Benedictus in our weekly liturgy. All the music from this service will continue to be played before service each Sunday, in hopes that the congregation will become familiar with it.
PANCAKE SUPPER: We are holding a Pancake Supper on Shrove Tuesday, Feb. 16th from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. Adults: $7, Children 5-12: $3.50, under 5 yrs: Free. Take-out available!
Our next Men’s Breakfast will be held on Saturday, Feb. 27th at 8:00am.
Anyone wishing to help set up, please call Don Schwartz at 431-4047.

Attention all youth between the ages of 10 and 17! If you have a flair and interest in performing, the Fort Sackville region will be forming a Puppet Troupe.
