WHAT’S HAPPENING AT SMC . . .
Next Sunday after the worship
service, there will
be a fund-raiser meal for the summer
The Pastoral Relations Committee is happy to announce that the
renewal vote for Pastor Todd and Rebecca Martin was overwhelmingly
positive! We are glad to have them with
us for the next three plus years.
Our sincere thanks for the flowers, the food, and the
many cards and visits that you showered upon us when I had my knee replaced.
God has been so good, and has used so many of His people to bless
us. Thank you, Church Family, for caring
and sharing with us at this time. Blessings,Donna and Robert Armitage
Mailboxes have been added for Russ, Erin, and Samuel Leonardi, and Gary and Dana Meglich.
We are excited to have these families attending here regularly, and extend a
heartfelt welcome.
Dust off your pinewood derby cars! Our annual pinewood derby will be held on our
next All Church Night, Wednesday, March 5. Once again, after the new cars are
raced, you will have an opportunity to compete with cars from previous years.
Church Cookbook update: Ladies & Men: Please keep the recipes coming
in! We have approximately 200 great
recipes submitted so far, with a goal of 500. All categories are needed. See
the table in the hall. Thank you!
Membership Matters!
Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior? If you have, I want to invite you to become a
part of the SMC family. A 5-session
class will begin in March, exploring what it means to become a member of our
family here at SMC. Please let me know
if you are interested.
