Cluster Meeting

Dear people,

Lent is upon us and there is much to be celebrated as well as to prepare for.  From the Synod, our parish has received a thank-you certificate for our mission support, some three grand given to the greater ministry of the larger church. That is fantastic! We’ll hang up that Synod thank-you on the bulletin board Sunday.

If you have a confirmation student, remember this Sunday is also the beginning of the month of March already, and class will meet in Valatie at 6pm.

THIS Monday, March 3rd, there is a planning meeting for the May 1st CROP Walk. Check the website http://hunger.cwsglobal.org/site/PageServer?pagename=crop_main and get excited! We’ve got the 4th largest walk in the county, and for the number of people we have an excellent track record of raising money to support the local food banks.  Monday’s meeting will distribute the money to those local ministries, too. Even if you’re just the littlest bit curious, come and check it out. If you know anyone who needs service hours, this is a great way to get them.

Also, because we’re the awesomest, our synod gets to participate in a ‘Vitality survey,’ for free, and change the way we ‘measure’ congregational growth and health. More on that later, just keep your ears and eyes open for the Spirit in the meantime, for those stories of where and how God has been moving in this community, so we can spread around the encouragement!
