Calendar

Join us for the second annual Valentines craft party on Feb 7, right after church during Fellowship Hour. Craft Valentines for shut-ins or your own loved ones. (Because this is Super Bowl Sunday we will have a football motif.) Beverages and refreshments will be served. Time to socialize, make valentines, have a bite, think about football (and still have time to go home and watch the Super Bowl, since kick-off isn’t until 4:30pm.) More Upcoming Events

Candlelight, Prayer, Song, Imposition of Ashes

A time for being together in a prayerful, meditative service with candlelight.

Find more upcoming events at First United through the Lenten season to Easter (which is March 27).

Children & youth spend the first 20 minutes with parents in worship, then are dismissed to Sunday School.

Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.

Today:

• First Sunday of Lent: Temptations in the Wilderness “Walking with Jesus Through the Psalms”
• Racial Justice Sunday
• Lenten Prayer Station for reflection on Psalm 91:15 “Where have you been tested in your faith?”
• Luke 4:1-13    Psalm 91:1-2 & 9-16
• Celebration! Choir sings

If you’re a quilter or a would-be quilter, you’re welcome to join us for a good time and for a good cause as we tie our quilts. The next one is Thursday February 18, from 1pm-3pm. (Gail Goodman or Emogene Meier would be happy to answer any questions you have.)

FYI: The Quilters meet periodically throughout the year.  If you are interested in joining them, please contact the church. Don’t be frightened off by the thought that you don’t know how to quilt, because we are actually just tying the quilts and all you have to do is tie knots. They are small, lap or crib size, usually. We tie several each time and they are usually given to charity or people we know who are ill or disabled or have a new baby. Join us whenever you like.
