“Souper” Bowl Sunday
In celebration of the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, the Evangelism and Member Care Commission is collecting cans of soup. Our version of “Souper Bowl” Sunday benefits the St. Joseph the Worker Food Pantry here in Liverpool. Watch for the bins outside of Fellowship Hall. The bar is set pretty high in that last year Bev McClean and Nancy Sand delivered 373 cans of soup to the pantry. Let’s break that record.

Dr. Hall’s Lenten Bible Study starts Feb. 28
Dr. Hall’s Lenten Bible Study will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. and continue for six consecutive Tuesday evenings. This year’s study will be on The Book of Job. All are invited to come and study and discuss one of the most challenging books of the holy scriptures. Deal with the questions: how and why the righteous man like Job is tested by God? Learn about the classic deal between Satan and God in challenging Job’s faith. What is the profound message of the last chapter of the book? A fellowship meal (dish to pass) will take place at 6 p.m. for all who are interested. Study books are available for $8 in the church office.
