Today, Souper Bowl collection for tackling hunger and poverty . It began 25 years ago with a simple prayer : “Lord as we enjoy the Super Bowl, help us to be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.” We will collect money and food for our February Village Harvest distribution. We are collecting ingredients for chili, so we need cans of kidney beans, or other type of beans, (you can also bring dried beans) and cans of tomatoes—diced, crushed.
Tomorrow night! Monday, Feb. 2 – Candlemas! Service at 7pm. In this service, we celebrate the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, forty days after the celebration of His birth.

Fourth Sunday after THE EPIPHANY
February 1, 2015, 11am
“Jesus and his disciples went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God." But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" – Mark 1:21-25
