Speaking of Signs

If you have driven by the church recently you may have noticed that there is no sign out front. 
We removed the old sign last fall in anticipation of a new one being installed and to enable "our crew" to refurbish the siding around the entry.
We do have the spiffy new sign sitting in the downstairs entry patiently waiting for its foundation to be completed. 

Here's what the new sign looks like.

New Library Sign

In the last few years our church library has been repainted and reorganized and a new bathroom created in one corner. Recently a member of our congregation painted a sign for the door. Thanks to all involved in all the updates.

Lent Bowling

A bunch of us joined the gang from Norridgewock Congregational last weekend for a couple hours of fun and food at the bowling alley. Slide show below.

February's Book of the Month

"Christ must increase, and I must decrease," the apostle John declared, and his words resonate throughout the anthology Bread and Wine, Readings for Lent and Easter, a gathering of reflections from a wide spectrum of classic and contemporary Christian writers.

Query: What is your favorite resource for Lenten reading, study, and reflection?
