Sunday Offering
On the 4th Sunday of each month, the loose change and cash
in our offering is designated to fund our share of the Sunday Bus
program. Please support this Christian ministry by placing
any loose change or cash donations in the offering plate today.
Thank you for your support!
Birthday Party Everyone is invited to help Terry Lee celebrate her 60th birthday this Saturday from 1:30-4:30 p.m. downstairs in our Fellowship Hall. The party is hosted by daughter Jennifer, granddaughter Sadie, and special friend John and many other friends. For those unable to attend, birthday greetings may be sent to her at 716 Elm Ave E / Waseca. (Terry’s actual birthday is January 25.)
Youth Ski Retreat
People’s Congregational of Bayport (MN) has invited our youth to a ski weekend February 10-12 (Fri-Sun). We’d leave Waseca Friday evening, enjoy a full day of skiing on Saturday, and return Sunday morning (hopefully in time for church!) We will receive group rates on equipment rentals and passes. Food cost for the weekend is $20. We need a count of youth interested in going and, just as importantly, adults willing to chaperone. Please talk to Pr. Chris.
Ladies Friendly meets Wednesday, February 1 at 1:30 p.m. Hostesses are Phyllis Mercuro & Lucille Youngberg. All women are invited and encouraged to attend!
Warm Up to Cool Down on February 26 with a bowl of hot soup. All food donated by Ladies Friendly. All proceeds go toward the air conditioning project. Freewill offering will be taken.
Dishes There are several bowls, trays and a cake pan on the counter by the microwave. Please reclaim them if they’re yours!
