Welcome Reverend Scott Monson.
Please join us after the service today in the Guild Hall, for our first Sunday of the month, Potluck Brunch.
Fr. Scott will be talking about Marcus Borg's book, Speaking Christian, following our Lent Soup Suppers – these will start on February 29. He advised us to get the book from Amazon.com or Borders.com. The book costs $14.86 and Nan Rotramel is trying to get a group order together so we get the free shipping. Please sign up on the bulletin board in the Narthex by February 12 – she will place the order by February 15.
