Announcements for February 9

Flossmoor Streets and Snow
A reminder from the Flossmoor Police Department: Central Drive and Leavitt Avenue are “snow routes.” In the event of snow (!) it is illegal to park along these streets before they have been plowed. (As they are typically the first streets to be plowed, hopefully this will not present a significant inconvenience to parishioners.) This does not affect other streets near the church.

Have a Heart and Make a Valentine
Join our teens in making Valentines for seniors at local assisted living facilities. Stop by our craft table in the undercroft during coffee hour this Sunday and create your own message of love and caring. No artistic talent required… just a loving spirit and five minutes time.

Calling ALL Junior High Kids
All Junior High kids (including current confirmands and their mentors): Please join the high school teens on Sunday, February 9, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. to make more Valentines for seniors. Feel free to bring friends. Fun, kindness and service hours all rolled into one good time! Call Dee McManamy or Shirley Reilly with any questions!

Grande Prairie Singers present “I Remember When the Stars Fell,” featuring music of the era of slavery in our country, 4:00 p.m., Sunday, March 9, at Faith United Protestant Church in Park Forest.

Weather Update for Sunday, January 5

Services WILL be offered this morning, January 5, as usual at 8:00 and 10:00. However, please be extremely cautious about driving. Do not try to drive unless you are confident and comfortable that it is safe. (Stay home and make snow angels for your Christmas worship!) Even if you are scheduled to serve in some capacity this morning, do NOT feel obligated to get to church. At 5:00 a.m., it is still snowing and roads around the church have not been recently plowed although they undoubtedly will be later this morning. Please pray for everyone who must work or travel today. Today is the twelfth day of Christmas. Celebrate Christ's birth in our lives!
