Week of February 1, 2026

• Thank you to Chris Kohler and Carol Cruser for serving Coffee today after worship.
• Today we will use the Chicago Folk Service for worship. Please follow along in the white booklets. Faith Lutheran used to do this years ago and it was so well liked. Let’s do it again!
• The next WELCA meeting is this Tuesday, February 3rd at 10am. Ladies, we will disperse our money made from the Cookie Walk. Come with your good ideas!
• The next Merry Widows event will be on Valentines Day! We will have a nice luncheon at the Wild Wings In Lake City and they are happy for us to stay and use their special room to play a new game together called Herd Mentality! Please meet at the church parking lot at 10:45am. This will be fun!
• Our February Shepherd is Carolyn Hinkle. Please call her with congregational joys or concerns. 565-4306
• The Food Share focus item for February is PASTAS AND SAUCES. Or boxes of Macaroni and cheese!
