Ash Wednesday services will be held this Wednesday February 6th at 7:30pm. We hope to see everyone there.

There is a meeting on Mission on the Move coming up at Gloria Dei in Chatham this upcoming Sundaythat the bishop will be presiding over. If you have interest in attending, please see Pastor.

Our Matching Contribution campaign is currently underway w a small group of members having pledged $13,500.00 to be matched by the remainder of the congregation. It would be great if we can match the entire amount and start of 2008 on solid financial footing. Be sure to mark the funds designed for the matching campaign on your offering envelope so that Ralph knows where the money should be assigned. Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Food is already building outside of the sanctuary for our next food drive for Pilgrim's Journey. Our current plan is take the food for around Easter, but if it gets overwhelming we may have to make a trip sooner!!! Keep the donations coming, they are most certainly appreciated and needed.

Our next council meeting is Wednesday February 13th. If you have any suggestions for the council, please get them to any member of the council before that date or feel free to simply e-mail me back with your ideas.

See you on Wednesday!!!!
