This fundraising effort to support local food banks was a home run (just kidding!), with a total of $606.30 donated in all. The Eagles were the clear favorite of our young collectors, with $570.48 deposited in the Philadelphia pot and only $35.82 going the Patriots way but regardless of the breakdown of the donations or the score of the game, your generosity will greatly benefit the hungry in our area. CHRISTIAN ED: Church School Teacher Meeting February 11 at 9:00 in the parlor; we will meet to discuss the schedule for the remainder of the school year. There will be coffee and a breakfast treat. Pizza Club February 13 and February 27, 5:30-7:00. Children from Pre-K to grade 5 will meet in the undercroft to enjoy fun, fellowship, a lesson and some singing with Mrs. Alt, and pizza!

Salvation and peace to his people on earth; Our King and our savior, our God and our Father, We worship and praise you and sing of your worth. Creation unites in the power of the Spirit, In praise of the Father through Jesus the Son. Whose life makes us whole and whose death sets us free. Who comes in the name of the Father of Light, Let endless hosannas resound in the height. Agnus Dei: O Lamb of God come cleanse our hearts And take our sin away; O Lamb of God your grace impart and let our Guilty fear depart, have mercy Lord, We pray. So complex, so simple, so clear, so mysterious. Our God ever three yet eternally one.
