ANNOUNCEMENTS

Interest has been expressed in joining the church.  If others would like to be part of a class for prospective members, see Derek or one of the Elders.  The class is designed for those considering church membership.  If you’re already a member, but still don’t have the foggiest idea what American Congregationalism is all about, come and sit in on this three- or four-session class.  Details to follow.

“Wish I had that recipe!”  Have you said that after one of our potluck’s?  One of our projects for 2013 is to print a FCC Family Cookbook.  Let’s include not only our potluck favorites, but your own family recipes too.  Lori Clapper will attempt to put this together in hopes of having it ready by Mother’s Day.  So, start writing out or photo coping your recipes and get them to Lori in the coming weeks.

3DYouth Group:  30-Hour Famine is approaching!  February 22-23 … save the date.

Committee and Department Heads:  Our Annual Meeting is just a few weeks away.  All reports must be submitted to Audrey for compilation by the end of the month – or you get to read yours aloud at the meeting!  J
