It is hard to believe that this Sunday will be the Last Sunday after Epiphany and the Celebration of The Transfiguration of Our Lord. And that next Wednesday, February 10 will be Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten Season which will take us to Easter, March 27. Easter is early this year which is why it seems so soon. It is.
A word to the ladies of Epiphany-If you have ever thought that you might be called to be a Daughter of the King, please come to a meeting and see how you like it. It is a prayer and service order which strives to take God's love to the world. If you would like more information, please contact any Daughter. You can always recognize Daughters by the crosses they wear.
February Baked Potato Lunch---will be February 14th, Valentine's Day, to support our graduating seniors, Addison Drake and John Wesley Erskine..
Thanks to Sandy Arrington, Dianne Ragland, and Sherry Musgrove for providing lunch for the Alzheimer's Respite Group on Tuesday, February 9.
The World Day of Prayer will be March 4. More about time and place will come later.
Remember that Michael will not be in the office tomorrow. He is taking some much deserved time off to make up for the many extra hours he has given to Epiphany.
Attendance last Sunday was 41. The collection was $1,673.19
Servers this Sunday will be Rufus and Sandy Arrington. Ushers will be Bert and PhyllisMcNelly. Vestry Person of the Day will be Mary Erskine, or she may have traded with David.
Michael's sermon was especially meaningful last Sunday (Don't we say that about all of his sermons?.) There were many quotations from Jesus, Paul and C.S. Lewis to the Beatles and Neil Young-all about the same thing, the importance of love. He closed with this, "And this, finally, which helps us find our place in the scheme of things,'It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shies upon us'." Thanks Michael.
Have a blessed week,
Carpe every diem,
Rufus and Sandy
