Jazz and Good Food- February 24th! 

On Friday, February 24th, we will once again welcome the Centralia High School Jazz Band for an evening of jazz and good food.  While the jazz band entertains us, we will feast on hamburgers and salads.  We’ll start serving at 5:30 p.m. The band starts playing at this time as well.  This is a unique event for our church and a wonderful one to invite friends and family to (especially friends and family who don’t have a church home).  For more information, or to volunteer to help or bring a salad, talk to Tom Peterson.

Manna Bag Packing- February 12th! 

First question, what are Manna Bags?  Manna Bags are pre-packed bags of nonperishable food that you can carry around in your car and hand out to needy individuals.  Have you ever seen someone standing at the end of a freeway off ramp and wanted to give them something other than money?  Manna Bags are the answer.  So come to the church at 10 a.m. and help pack Manna Bags.  Then you can take a couple with you and keep in your car.  It’s a great way to bless those in need.

Youth Group

  

February 5th: No Meeting! Saturday, the 4th, is the day of the Solo and Ensemble Contest in which many of our members are participating in.  And on Sunday, it’s Super Bowl time!  So we won’t meet this weekend. We’ll gather back together next week.

February 12th: Manna Bag Packing! Come on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. and help pack Manna Bags (see related article elsewhere in this newsletter).

February 12th: Unorthodox Ping Pong Tournament! We had to cancel this back in January because of the weather.  This is an ordinary double elimination ping pong tournament except for the fact that you cannot use a regular ping pong paddle.  Bring something with you to use as a paddle (such as a frying pan, badminton racquet, flip flop, etc.).  We’ll start at 7 p.m. and finish by 9 p.m.

February 19th: No Meeting (President’s Day Weekend).

February 24th: Jazz and Good Food! Come and support your friends in the Centralia High School Jazz band and get some great food at the same time.  The show starts at 6 p.m.

February 26th:  TBD As is our practice, we’ll let you decide what we do on this weekend.  We’ll take suggestions at the February 12th meeting.

March 4th: No Meeting.
