Souper Bowl of Caring
Sunday, Feb. 5th is the day most people like to watch the Super Bowl game and enjoy
food and fun with family and friends. It’s also another day marked to remember those who are not able to provide enough food for their families, so therefore, we again will take part in the National Souper Bowl of Caring, when we collect dollars and canned goods to help our local food pantries at a time when it is so critical to help those in need. The youth will volunteer to hold the soup pots, make a rice meal & serve it on Sunday morning at the end of our 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. worship service. Please sign up on the youth board for this.

Getting to Know Our Neighbors…The Amish
On Sunday, February 12, 2012, at 10:30 a.m., we will be discussing Amish Religion and Culture. Lucy Braunschweig has an interest in the Amish and will be sharing some of the information she has learned about the Amish. We will discuss some of the following items. When the Amish talk about “The Budget”, they are not discussing money. What are they talking about? A court decision known as “Yoder vs. the State of Wisconsin” affected Amish all over the United States. What right did the Amish gain by this court decision? When driving in an Amish area we never see a church building with a sign saying Amish church. Why not? To hear about answers to these questions, Amish history and more please, join us when we explore Amish Religion and Culture on February 12th, at 10:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
