Our Annual Congregational Meeting will be held this evening. Voting age is 16. Non-members are invited to attend the meeting as observers. The meeting will begin at 5:30PM with a potluck dinner.  Each family should bring enough food to feed their family plus a couple of extra people.  All members are strongly encouraged to attend and other regular attenders are welcome to come and observe.

It’s time to update the church directory.  We ask that everyone complete an information sheet, allowing us to be sure all information is up-to-date.  If you have out-of-town family members who wish to be in the directory, please complete one for them also.  Please submit all information by Sunday, February 11.

The DoorKeepers (grades 7—12) will meet at Cordova Bowling Center, 7945 Club Center Dr., on Saturday, February 24, at 2PM for a fun time of bowling (and maybe some air hockey) followed by pizza.  We should finish around 5:30PM.  Please let Bethany Henry know of your plans to attend.

The Men’s Chili Cook-off is just around the corner on February 25!  The best chili in the Mid-South will be lined up in Wilson Hall, and we will all enjoy a great meal.  Please have entries here by 5:30PM; we will eat at 6.  Ladies, bring along chili fixin’s, sides, and/or desserts.  The winner will take home the Silver Spike Award for the year.  Phillip Raymer is the defending champion.
