6 Community Spotlight Rev. Scott We are already into the second month of Time sure passes by fast. Many people call February the love month. This month, many people will celebrate Valentine s Day. There will be flowers, candy, stuffed animals and the list goes on and on. The reason for all the gifts being purchased is to express their love for others. I m reminded of how God expressed his love for us and still does today. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever would believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Every day of each month is love for us, because of God s love for us. May we today, and everyday, share God s love with each other. God Bless each one of you, Rev. Scott Lambert February Fun Facts February is named after the purification ritual Februa, which was a sort of early Roman spring cleaning festival.
