Broad Bay News: February 4 Annual Meeting is Souper Bowl Sunday

Sunday Worship

January 28, 10 am  
"Born Again"   Are these words an invitation and a gift or do they have a more negative connotation?  What does it mean?  Rev. Nancy Duncan will grapple with this text.  Barbara Bibro, pianist. 
There will be church school for the children and youth.
 

Valentine Gifts

Check out the gift table in Fellowship Hall!!  There are Valentine items for your sweetheart, containers to stuff with Valentine candy, and small gifts to share with a shut-in.  Most items can be taken after making a donation; a few items are part of a Silent Auction.  The highest bidder will be notified on Sunday, February 11.  All donations will go to the Broad Bay general fund.
 

February 4 Annual Meeting is Souper Bowl Sunday

Please HELP the Help Yourself Shelf by bringing a dry or package soup to share with our Waldoboro neighbors!  Any donated cans of soup will be saved for distribution in warmer weather.  Packages of dry cereal, mac and cheese, and pasta are hard to keep stocked, as well as Kleenex, toilet paper, and paper towels.    
Thank-you!    The Outreach Steering Committee

Flu Season  

As we wash our hands, let's think of God's living water cleansing us and keeping us from passing germs to another person. In light of the flu epidemic, people are invited to be slow to touch one another--to pass God's peace with eye contact and a smile.
