Text Box: The Deacons’ Fund for February will go to DASI, an organization which assists survivors of domestic abuse. Please give generously! Soup, Chili, & Bread Sale: On Sunday, February 7th, we will be holding a Soup, Chili, and Bread Sale. Please bring in your favorite homemade soup, chili, or bread (for example, corn bread). After the worship service, these items will be sold, not only by the pint or quart, but you may also buy it by the bowl and eat it here as part of our church family. A sign-up sheet will be placed on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Room. Snow Tubing outing will be held on Friday, February 12th, 5 P.M. at the church. Cost: $16/person. We will have pizza at the church before going to Mt. Creek for tubing. Friends are welcome, but permission slips are needed for everyone (see folder in the Jr. High classroom). See Sherry Dwornikoski with questions. Chaperones are needed! Hygiene Kits for Haiti: In 2005, 19 “Gifts of the Heart” health kits were sent to Church World Service to be used by people affected by the tsunami. Forty “Gifts of the Heart” shelter health kits were sent to Hurricane Katrina survivors. Church World Service in Maryland was contacted, and the “Gifts of the Heart” kits are desperately needed in Haiti. The Hygiene Kit is comprised of the following: 1 hand towel (approximately 16” x 28”, no fingertip or bath towels); 1 washcloth; 1 wide-tooth comb; 1 nail clipper (no metal files or emery boards); 1 bar of soap (bath size in wrapper); 1 toothbrush (in original packaging); 6 Band-Aids® or other adhesive bandage strips. Please do not add toothpaste to the Hygiene Kit. Toothpaste, which has an extended expiration date, will be added to Hygiene Kit shipments just prior to shipment. Seal all items in a one-gallon plastic bag with a zipper closure. You may bring in articles for the kit, the completed kit, or a donation to buy the articles. We will then make as many kits as we can and send them to Maryland. If you have questions, please call Betty at 973-875-3892, or see her after worship service. 2010 Per Capita: Each Presbyterian Church (USA) is billed a yearly assessment to pay the operating costs of the General Assembly, Synod, and Presbytery. This year, the assessment is $29.00 for each member ($5.79 for General Assembly, $3.70 for Synod, and $19.51 for Presbytery). To ease the burden on the church, we are again asking that each member who is able to do so, pay his/her assessment. The special blue envelope in your offering envelopes box may be used for this contribution.
