Silent Reflection ~ Pastor’s Prayer ~ The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

ONE THING-FOOD PANTRY
February is our church’s month to collect for the Mitchell Food Pantry, so we are combining it with our “One Thing.” They need CANNED peas, carrots, diced pineapple, and mandarin oranges. You can place them on the “One Thing” table in the gathering area. Thank you!
VALUES WORKSHOP
Please join the leadership of our church on February 19th for a Values Clarification Workshop beginning at 8:30am and concluding by 12:30pm, led by Rev. Rebecca Trefz. This workshop is intended to help our church clarify and define the values that guide us in ministry. As decisions are made about ministry and church direction, being clear on our values is vital. If you can’t be present for the workshop, there will be a questionnaire available to hear the voices of more of our church family.
LOVE FEAST NEEDS
Love Feast is looking for some large left-over containers like whipped cream and half gallon tubs. You can bring the containers to church office. Thank you.
FAMILY MINISTRIES MEETING
The Family Ministries meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday the 2nd is being moved to Wednesday the 9th at 6 PM in the chapel.
LENT

SOUPER BOWL
The Youth are in charge of the service on Super Bowl Sunday, February 13. We invite you to worship with us and join us for soup and sandwiches after the service. We will be serving from 10:30 until around 12:15. If you can't stay, meals will be available for you to take with you right after the service. The money raised will help pay for the Mission Trip to Spirit Lake, North Dakota, July 10-15. We are also looking for volunteers to help prepare and clean up. Click here to sign up. Thank you.
2022 YOUTH MISSION TRIP
The 2022 mission trip is scheduled for July 10-15. A $50 nonrefundable deposit is due by February 2 to secure a place on the bus. The trip will cost approximately $450 per person. The church will pay a portion through our camp scholarship fund and youth have an opportunity to earn money by participating in fundraisers such as the lunch on February 13 and Butter Braid sales. If you have any questions, please ask Cindy, Jessica, Tonya, or Heidi.
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKES
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID and illness in general in our community, the decision has been made to NOT have our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Feed this year. This was a difficult decision to make but feel it is in the best interest for our church family and our community. Hopefully next year!!!
COUNTY FAIR STAMPS
We are still collecting County Fair stamps. Please place them in the drawer marked “County Fair” at the top of the lower-level stairs.
COBORN’S RECEIPTS
We are collecting Coborn’s receipts for February, March, and April. Please place them in the “Coborn’s” drawer at the top of the lower-level stairs.
THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to our “One Thing” so far. Last month we collected a little over 70 pairs of sweatpants for the Abbott House. We are DOWNTOWN 4 GOOD!
