FOOD BANK: Two weeks ago the food from our baskets and cash collected since early December was taken to the Food Bank 93 pounds of food and $75. Thank you for helping your Washington County neighbors through these lean times. The February item is peanut butter an American favorite. The monthly food items are suggestions to give you some idea of what is needed; it is not intended to limit your donation to just those items. Please check the expiration dates on food that you donate. Food that is very close to or past the expiration date will have to be thrown away. If you would rather donate cash put it in an envelope marked Food Bank or make a check payable to the Oregon Food Bank and put it in the offering plate.

5 OutReach Events We have been able to arrange a joint effort with NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) to offer a 12-week class for family members of mentally ill persons starting today. NAMI of Washington County will provide the instructors and we will provide the location. The class will be from noon to 2:30 pm on Sundays in the CE Bldg and is free, except that they ask for donations to defray the cost of printing materials ($3 per week). Please see Maryanne Weed for details or further information, and call NAMI at to register. The Life and Ministry of the Messiah AN ADULT CLASS ON SUNDAY MORNINGS 9:00-9:40 CE Room 1 Video series led by Andy Lindahl Filmed on locations in Israel and throughout the Middle East, the Faith Lessons series is an adventure in biblical learning. You will discover why Jesus turned the world upside down with his compelling call to follow him. Teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan brings together history, culture, and geography as you walk with Jesus through the days of his ministry on this earth. These illuminating 'faith lessons' give deep insights that will transform your reading of the Gospels and inspire a deeper faith commitment.

6 Volunteers Needed During Spring Break Jody Jones and the Youth are taking a break from Glisan Street Transition House dinners for spring break in March. The Outreach Team would like for Bethany to continue this fine work while the youth enjoy spring break, and are offering this for everyone else. If you have not had the opportunity to participate in this mission project, you will find it very rewarding. We prepare the food in Bethany's kitchen, load it into vans and car trunks, and take it downtown to the center for serving. We serve dinner and then eat with the residents. You can cook, or serve, or both. Sherry Labavitch will chair this event, and will have sign-up sheets available in March. Try it! It's fun! Extra Stuff from Fellowship Hall The Trustees have moved numerous items from the Fellowship Hall over to the CE Building storage closet. These are bulletin boards and lots of other stuff that need to be claimed or disposed of. Committees and individuals - please check this Sunday or next for anything that belongs to you and move it out as soon as possible. All unclaimed items will be removed. And to keep things spic and span in the remodeled Fellowship Hall, please do not put any items in the Fellowship Hall janitor s closet without prior permission from the Trustees.
