Campaign Prayer
Lord God, Heavenly Father, our refuge and our strength, we ask
that you be with us in our endeavors, for we remember if the Lord
does not build a house then in vain do its builders labor.
Assist us in our efforts to celebrate the foundation of our
ancestors as we walk this, our earthly faith journey. As we move
into the future, we continue to engage in the work you have
entrusted to us.
We ask that you come and visit us, O Lord, and bless the good
works that have begun in you. This we ask through Christ Jesus
our Lord. Amen.

Ash Wednesday Breakfast
For those of you who will be attending the 7:00
a.m. service on Ash Wednesday, come join us

friends, good food, good time!
Cooks Needed!
Do you have a favorite soup you like to make?
An easy casserole? We are looking for a few
folks to provide a simple supper for our Lenten
series. Figure on about 30 people; a free will
offering will be taken to cover the cost of the
groceries. Speak with Fr. John or Jennifer Westermann if you
would like to assist with our own “Feeding of the Five
Thousand”. Makes 30 sound easy now, doesn’t it? There is a
sign-up sheet on the table in the back of Church.
Support the American Cancer Society
Daffodil Days are coming, so get yours ordered
by Sunday, March 1st. Daffodil Days are an
opportunity to join the American Cancer Society
in saving lives, celebrating lives and leading the
fight for a world with cancer. Dollars raised
support ground-breaking research, patient services
and other lifesaving programs. Through the daffodil, one of the
first flowers of spring, this campaign brings a symbol of hope
to cancer patients and those affected by the disease. A sign-up
sheet is at the back of the church. For more information,
please see me or give me a call me at 607-761-0386.
Thank you for your support of Relay for Life.
