On Sunday, March 6, we will enjoy another soup luncheon to raise money for Relay for Life. Please be
sure to sign up to bring food and also to let us know if you plan to attend. There is a list going around!
On Sunday March 6 @ 6pm, Sanford Hands of Praise will be here to share in their sign language ministry
of spreading God’s message performed to music. Please plan to come and bring a friend! Refreshments

Join us as we plan to prepare and deliver food to Grace & Mercy Mission in Athens on Monday, March 14.
It will be a spaghetti meal. Please see Susan Kirksey for details and to sign up.
There are forms on the table in the foyer to sign up for the relay team. There is a $10 registration fee and
you will receive an American Cancer Society t-shirt. See Marian Hale for more information.
We want to begin collecting items for our Operation Christmas Child shoebox ministry. We thought it
would be easier if we collected items each month throughout the year instead of all at one time. For the
month of February please bring in: small dolls, earrings, flip flops, crayons & coloring books. Each
month we will provide a new list of items. May God bless our efforts with this mission!
Mark your calendars
