Some of the best fellowship takes place around tables,
food, and drink. And so we hope you’ll make plans to
join us next Sunday, February 21, after worship for
our twice-monthly fellowship meal.
Also happening next week is our annual
congregational meeting which takes place following
the fellowship meal. All are encouraged to attend, but
we ask that at least one member of the family
be present.
And don’t forget about Fat Tuesday on February 16 where, in time honored tradition, we will consume as many pancakes as possible in preparation for the 40 days of Lent. Accompanying the pancake feast is our annual talent show, emceed by the man, the myth, the legend, Marc Hays, which is a talent show in and of itself. Be sure to sign up to share your talents at stmarkreformed.com/talent-show. And if you plan to bring pancakes or other food items, let us know at stmarkreformed.com/pancakes.
Following all the feasting, we begin the Lenten season with our Ash Wednesday service on February 17. This is a solemn occasion and dark clothing is quite appropriate to wear. During this service, ashes will also be placed on the foreheads of those wishing to receive them. In keeping with the solemnity of the service and season, this reminds us of our condition after the fall, and our need for Christ.
