Warm Winter Greetings Branchport UMC Family and Friends~
Hello! I hope that you are doing well in these long winter days. It seems hard to believe we are halfway through February and the hopes of spring are beckoning to us! I wanted to share some of the things we have coming up and some great opportunities for fellowship. We would love for you to join us.
Saturday, February 22nd we will be holding “Coffee Break” from 10am to Noon. Since September we have been inviting Caregivers of those living with Alzheimer’s to come with their loved one for a time of socializing. We have not yet had anyone join us so we would like to open it up to all of you and the community as a time of fellowship. We will be hosting Coffee Break the 4th Saturday of each month so if you cannot make it this month, please join us in March!
Sunday, February 23rd is Pet Food Sunday. We have been collecting food and pet supplies for Pet Partner Connection who minister to people of Yates County. Their goal is to help people keep their pets in their homes. They also visit shut-ins and nursing homes with their animals. Please consider dropping off donations to assist us in this mission.
Wednesday, February 26th is Ash Wednesday. I will be administering Ashes at The Living Well Mission in Penn Yan from Noon to 1pm. Please stop in, I would love to see you!
Saturday, February 29th we invite you to Dessert and a Show with special music by GPS (God’s Plan for Salvation). If you were able to join us last year you know what a treat this is! Please come see a great group of young adults perform for us and enjoy a night out! The show starts at 6:30pm. We will be having soup and sandwiches with the band and their families if you would like to join us at 5pm.
Sunday, March 1st we will be starting a Lenten Bible Study- Soul Reset - as we enter into a time of Self-reflection in this season leading up to Easter. We just finished Not a Silent Night by Adam Hamilton and had a great turn-out. All are welcome to this upcoming study.
