Mud Season - With the wet and/or snowy weather, the parking lot becomes muddy! Please wipe off your shoes when you enter the building on the mats provided. Parents encourage your children to do the same. Also, the exit door at the back of the Fellowship Hall is not an entry door. There are no mats there to remove mud/dirt/snow from shoes. Please re-enter through the main doors. Thank you!

2nd Annual Chilli Cook-Off (and Superbowl Watch Party) - Everyone is invited to join us at the building on Sun Feb 9th starting at 5pm!  Bring some side dishes or snacks to share or you can enter in our Chilli Contest (see below). We have lined up a panel of "secret chilli judges" to award a "Critic's choice" award for the best chill as well as awarding a "People's Choice Award" to the chilli that receives the most votes.

We'll also have the "Prop bet Contest." Will TSwift make an appearance? What colour Gatorade do they have on the sidelines? What team scores the first touchdown? Make all your predictions and see who gets the most right!

We'll pause at half time to have brief devo together and have a great evening of fellowship together. If you would like to enter the chill contest email Noel by Saturday Feb 8 with your name and the Flavour of Chilli you're preparing. We'll make labels and make sure we've got space for your special batch when the chill is served at 530pm. If you have any other questions reach out to Noel. See you then.
