Food Items for February: – PEANUT BUTTERis the food item for February for the Assembly of God food ministry. You may bring your items to church or put them in the box at Town and Country Grocery. Thanks to Carrie Greene for overseeing this ministry. Food is distributed on the 2nd Saturday each month
VALENTINE CARDS: Thanks to those who brought valentines for the shut ins and military. There were 278 cards sent by 22 people. We’ve had reports that they were much appreciated.
THOUGHTS FROM LAST SUNDAY’S SERMON: Be gentle, not judgmental.
Sometimes we may need an attitude adjustment to live as Christ would have us live.
STUDENT REPORT: In the recently held Zalma elementary basketball tournament, the 3rd grade won 2nd place and the 4th grade won first in consolation bracket. Congratulations, guys! Great job.
Congratulations to Maggie Thorn on her successful trip to Belmont University last week. She received notice while there that she had been accepted into their music program. While there she participated in the entertainment at the Listening Room Café and the Curb Cafe.
TUMC GIRLS HAVE BUSY AGENDA: At their February meeting, the TUMC girls reviewed their old business—buying new toys for the playroom and new rockers for the nursery.
New business approved:
Members will continue to make muffins for food bank rather than buy.
Set Salad Supper date for April 3.
Yard sale will be first weekend in May.
Will provide treats for the Children's Home kids for holidays, starting with individual Valentine treats.
