On Saturday, February 15th at 5:30 P.M., fill the Fellowship Hall with family and friends. This is the mid winter laugh out loud, eating good food like ice cream and fried chicken, all the while supporting our mission outreach. Please bring a side dish to share.

SHROVE TUESDAY FUN NIGHT/TALENT NIGHT. The theme this year is America’s Got Talent or St David’s Got Talent. Several of our youth and adults are participating showing off their many forms of talent. In keeping with the TV version of America’s Got Talent, we are also having a champions night. This means some of our acts from many years ago will be back with a talent to share with you this year and are guaranteed to make you laugh. I’m sure you will love all the acts. By the way, it is not too late to sign up to be part of the entertainment. There will be a practice on Sunday Feb 23 at 7:00 P.M. for those in group skits or acts who would like to practice. If you are doing an act by yourself, let Joyce Arndt know that you would like to be a part of this year’s Americas Got Talent, and I will make sure you are in the lineup.
The program will be held in the Fellowship Hall on Feb 25, 2020 at 7:00 PM. Please plan to come out, socialize, laugh, have a cold drink or cup of coffee and of course eat doughnuts.

PINK ENVELOPES FOR FEBRUARY support Safe Home. Recognizing the fact that domestic violence is a serious issue, the Safe Home Program was developed in 1981 by YWCA Hanover. The foundation of the program is the strong belief that individuals have a right to control their lives and make decisions without fear of assault or degradation. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive and coercive behaviors used to maintain power and control over another in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, or cohabitation. The abuse may be physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, financial, or technological.
