On Feb 13th we treated ourselves to lunch at The Ivy House on the Square. Great fellowship and good food was enjoyed by all. Mark your calendars for March 23rd. We are bringing back the Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner. Tickets are being sold by Liz Herrick and Evelyn Exell so get your tickets before they are sold out. ECW looks forward to seeing you there.

Easter Holiday Food BasketsWe will begin collecting for the Easter food baskets on the first Sunday of March and continue thru to Easter. It is anticipated there will be as many needy families for this holiday as it was for Christmas, somewhere between 100 and 110. The cost of each basket runs about $35-36 and contains enough food for several meals. Delivery date will probably be on APRI 10th, thou this has not been confirmed. Your time, financial and transportation support will be greatly appreciated. This usually requires three to four hours for completion. All that have participated in the past have all gone away with a warm feeling, knowing that they have helped feed Gods children.
CursilloMany thanks, to those that went with us to the Joy Lutheran Church’s Multi Denominational Ultreya on February 2nd. What a wonderful program they provided for the group of 40+/- attendees. This group was comprised of 4 members from the United Methodist, 4 members from Advent and the balance from Joy. A good time was had by all that participated. Our next grouping is on last Sunday of March, held in the rear classroom, after mass. We hope that some of our Cursillo people will be able to attend.
Coffee HourAs with all the other ministers, we are constantly seeking volunteers to assist with the coffee hour. All items needed are provided by the church, you just need to volunteer your time and talents. This usually requires about fifteen minutes prior to and thirty minutes after service. Will you please pray about this and see if you are called to volunteer for this ministry.
Backpacks 4 KidsThis program is running quite smoothly. We are very fortunate and thankful for the financial support and volunteers that help promote and carry out this ministry. There are approximately 1500+/_ children that are fed thru this Interfaith sponsored program each week. What a challenge that is and how wonderfully they achieve it. What a blessing it is to be able to share in this ministry.

The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few wordson a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.'
The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dadscribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song,
they give him $100.'The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad
scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!'
