Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

Tonight, February 11: Cajun Cuisine!

Following dinner tonight our Leadership Board will meet upstairs in the Education Building, Adults will remain in the Worship Center for conversation and fellowship, Youth and Bridge will head to Menchi's (bring your own money), and our kids will continue their Lent series.

Next Wednesday, February 18:

No Wednesday evening meal. We hope you will join us for our Ash Wednesday service at 6:00 pm as we enter the Lenten season.

Book Club Dates: Wednesday, February 25 & Wednesday, March 4. Pick up a copy of Call It Grace: Finding Meaning in a Fractured World by Serene Jones, start reading, and join us at 6:20 pm for conversation. February 25 we will discuss chapters 1-7 and March 4, chapters 8-13.

Soon we will enter another season within the life of our faith and we have two ways to mark this transition within our Christian calendar. Join us Tuesday, February 17 at 6:00 pm in the worship center for our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, also known as Fat Tuesday or Pancake Day or Mardi Gras! This is the last day before we enter Lent and a season of fasting and reflection begins. Historically it was the day to use up all those rich ingredients like eggs, butter, and sugar before the time of fasting, so pancakes it is! It is a day to gather and celebrate, and we hope you will join us.

Following the pancake supper, we will see you back in the worship center at 6:00 pm Ash Wednesday, February 18 to begin our 40 day journey of Lent in preparation of Easter. On Ash Wednesday, we confront our own mortality and confess our individual and collective sin before God and our Christian community. The ashes, smeared on the forehead in the sign of the cross, are a symbol of mortality and repentance as we acknowledge the brokenness that still exists. We will offer a brief service of scripture, song, and prayer. If you can't make the service, drive-thru ashes will be available from noon to 1:00 pm outside the worship center.

Women's Ministry Book Swap Saturday, February 21 10:00 am to Noon
Grab a book to swap, bring a snack to share, and come enjoy fellowship with your PHUMC friends. We will gather at the home of Monique Henderson. Not a book person? We've had others show up with a gift card to play along and join in the fun so who knows what you will take home!
*Optional: Bring an extra paperback book of a popular author to donate to Big House Books. No romance please.

Thursdays at 10:00 am during the Lenten season, join Pastor Dawn in room 201 upstairs in the Education Building. We will begin Thursday, February 26 and go through Thursday, March 26. Each week we will take a closer look at the Gospel passage from the previous Sunday. Hope to see you there!

Wednesday Nights January 28 - March 4 our kids are learning all about the season of Lent. We hope to see you there as our children engage with the Christian year and learn more about the story of which they are a part. Reminder: Meal at 5:45 pm followed by activites at 6:20.

We always need volunteers to aid with our kids' ministry. For more information about any of our kids' ministry events contact Jennifer.
