Shrove Tuesday is here





A wonderful Tuesday is in full-swing here in Cheyenne County, and the fellowship of the First UMC is taking advantage of this gift from God!

Two study groups and a prayer team met this morning and offered participants an opportunity for growth and fellowship.

Belinda Alkula, Jim Joyce and Tom Millman were here cleaning the church. Marilyn Wiles and Cindy Phillips were hard at work updating membership rolls. Rilla Draper was organizing closets. Thanks to all of these faithful souls!!! Pastor Charles took the contributions made by the congregation to the local community food pantry. They were really appreciative of the thirty bags contributed!

Arlene Christensen brought in a shawl to be blessed this coming week. A prayer shawl was selected for Bonnie Thompson's mother, Thurma Gibbins, who turns 95 this week.

Looking forward to the start of Lent tomorrow. Our Ash Wednesday service will begin at 6:30 p.m.
