Needed: Weis Register tapes: Do you shop at Weis Markets? If so, please bring your cash register receipts to the church. We receive 1% of the total purchases on the register tapes submitted (minus milk, cigarettes, and gift cards). In 2011 your Weis register tapes provided $999.92 for our Mission budget at no extra cost to our congregation. Your cash register receipts may be placed in the small basket on the table in the Narthex. Ask your neighbors if they would like to donate their Weis register tapes for our Mission work. Thank you for your participation.
Souper Bowl Spectacular! All are invited to share a lunch of soup and bread in the newly remodeled lounge on Sunday, February 5! Following the service there will be a delicious selection of soups, breads and desserts in the lounge and time for fellowship with one another. A free-will offering will be taken to support the mission work of ESPC. Come ready to huddle up and break bread together!
Ash Wednesday Service: The solemn season of Lent begins with our Ash Wednesday service at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary on February 22nd. It will be a time of programs and meditation. Ashes will be offered along with the liturgical declaration: “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” Come and mark the beginning of this important spiritual season.
Refrigerator & Freezer: Please note that the old lounge refrigerator and freezer are now located in the Youth Room. We would like to clean them out and transfer all good foods to the new lounge. If you have things in there that you would like to claim, please do so as soon as possible before it gets discarded. Thank you!

From the Bible:
13Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. – Colossians 3:13-15
