Last week saw a huge community effort to clear a significant amount of snow and ice from the TCA parking lot. A big thanks to all who were able to participate. It was an unexpected but welcome opportunity to serve our community and work alongside our gracious hosts at TCA and it was a blessing for them on Monday as much as it was for us on Sunday.

While our Shrove Tuesday pancakes were quite good, they were only outdone by the talent show, which was also a great success. All of those who participated brought joy, laughter, and a sense of awe at the talent God is fostering within our community. We should not take for granted what God has given us. And many thanks to Marc Hays for his annual antics as Master of Ceremonies.

As a final reminder, the baby shower for the Hollands will be held following the fellowship meal next Sunday, March 7. The theme is books and diapers. If you would like to give a book to begin James’ library, please let Carolyn Thacker know of your choice so that we don’t duplicate titles. If you would like to give diapers, please do not choose newborn size.
