Lenten Luncheon Study:

From Feb. 18 - March 25, Rev. Juengel will begin a six week Lenten study series looking at how we discover spiritual bread in the wilderness of life. He will be using Kenneth Carter Jr.'s book "Bread in the Wilderness" for the basis of study as we remember God's faithfulness in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The series will be held on Thursday afternoons beginning at noon. We will provide the soup you bring a Bible and a friend. Please sign up by calling the church office.

GREETERS NEEDED!

On Sunday mornings it is important that we greet our church visitors and friends with a smile and a warm welcome as they come to worship with us. At the present time, we would like your help to fill the 2010 calendar. Two people are needed around 10 am each Sunday. Won't you come greet with us, making the most of this opportunity to welcome our friends, visitors and family? If you are interested, please contact Renea Schomer at (440) 884-9268.

FELLOWSHIP CLUB WEDDING PHOTO CONTEST:

We want to "thank" everyone who submitted a wedding photo, those who entered the "guessing" contest and those who just enjoyed looking at these special pictures. We now have the top two winners of the contest: Carol Werner had 31 out of 61 photos correctly identified and the Salisburys' had 28 correct. CONGRATULATIONS to them. For your viewing, names have been placed on the photos to identify each attractive, adorable, happy couple.

BOOK REVIEW GROUP:

Mary Lou Uray will review "Why Good Things Happen to Good People", written by Dr. Stephen Post and Jill Neimark. Dr. Post is a professor of bioethics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. His book attempts to answer the question of "if you could live a longer life, a happier life and a healthier life by just altering one behavior - would you?" Please join us on Wednesday, March 10 at 11:00 am in the Church Parlor to hear Mary Lou's take on this book. Light Refreshments will be served.
