****HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY****
Sunday at Epiphany was just absolutely wonderful--a Great Service, followed by fellowship, baked goods and those Jim and Linda D. Pancakes--almost forgot about assistants Jim Weathers and Mike Kelley. The " Extra Giving" through the Pancake Lunch, Bake Sale, and the Loose Offering exceeded our hopes and did not effect the 2nd Sunday Pledge giving. Will try and give you a report next week. Thank ALL of you so much.
Seems we are always saying “Thank You “—-It is because you guys are doing so much,SO, here goes—Thank you the People of Epiphany for the main dish, June Hutson for salad & bread, and Kris Picken for dessert for the Lakes Area Alzheimer’s Respite Group Lunch yesterday and Deborah and Mike Kelley for the Casseroles and Jane Schindler for the fruit for Breakfast at Epiphany (formerly breakfast with Michael, he thought the name should be changed).
Two of the " Youngsters" were back at church Sunday, Ralph Whitman and Morgan Wright. Both seemed in good health and spirits. Both expressed gratitude for all of Epiphany's prayers and concerns. On another note Raymond Whitman was to come home from the hospital Sunday.
Today is " Ash Wednesday"----the Service at Epiphany is at 5:30. "Ashes to Go" will be available on the
Square in Burnet from 11:00 till 1:00.
Remember that Michael will be in his office at Epiphany on Wednesdays' instead of Thursday during Lent.
Our Lenten Study Series will begin February 21st with Soup Supper at 5:30 and Michael's Study at 6:00 p.m.
This year's topic for Michael will be The Parables. By the way, there are still slots open for Soup and Bread for
the Wednesday nights--just see Carol Weathers.
