Food Shelf Report - Recapping the year 2025, generous givers have donated $210.00 and, are you ready for this, 218 # of food and supplies to the Shelf. What an amazing mission for those experiencing hard times!! Our challenge for 2026: Can we exceed that amount? We began 2026 by bringing in 21#.  Place your donation/s in the box provided in the narthex. Thank you for your blessing of love.

WELC Quilters Report - The quilting ladies began 2026 by making 3 quilts in January. We are looking forward to having another productive year. We have several quilt sets waiting to be made up yet from our purchase in 2025. We would love to have others come join us for a fun-filled gathering. In 2025 we were able to make 21 quilts, sold 9 of them, and in February gave to NUMAS Haus, Wat. County Human Services, Br. County Human Services. We are always grateful for any materials, yarns, threads, and cash donated to our group to make it possible for us to continue this mission.

Bible Study - Bible Study will resume on January 7th, 2026 at 10:15 AM. Ralph Flitter leads us in a more in-depth study of the gospel from the previous Sunday. This is a very informal time and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us.

Snow Removal Season - Like it or not we are in the season of snow and ice. The best effort will be
made to keep the parking and sidewalk clear for your safety. If you are able, and see a chance to help
out, it would be so very much appreciated. A broom, shovels, and salt are provided near the west door
of the Narthex. If you have a blower, blade, or scoop, the trustees will be forever grateful for your help
in cleaning the parking area and sidewalk. Mange Tuk!!
