	A Word from your Search Committee We have identified several promising candidates and are now hard at work conducting face-to-face interviews with each one.  Some of the candidates have indicated an interest in the parsonage, and at this time we will offer that option during our negotiations if necessary.  This is a very exciting time for the committee, and we are committed to finding the right settled pastor to present to the congregation.  We appreciate your continued support and prayers.   Peace, Linda Hein, Communications

	Fundraising Committee A committee has been formed to explore potential fundraising activities.  It is critical to our budget to find new and better and bigger ways to improve our bottom line.  We will look at any and all ideas and we welcome suggestions from everyone. Remember, this committee cannot and will not do this job alone – this budget belongs to everyone and we can all do something to help.  Please send your thoughts to anyone on the committee – Thanks We will meet on Tuesday, February 28 at 7pm in the vestry – please feel free to join us.   Sue Casey, Jane Hannon, Linda Hein, Amy Lanza, Linda Pickering, Jean Raymond
	Memorial Funds Please take a moment to remember your family and friends.  Consider a donation to our Memorial Funds in memory or in celebration of someone special – it could be for a birthday, anniversary, or any other event that is important to you.  The amount is up to you and it is the thought that counts.  Cards for this purpose are available on the table at the back of the Sanctuary.  The names of those remembered will be listed (no amounts) and the interest generated will be used to supplement our budget.
	Church Brochure The Pastoral Search Committee has completed work on a new Church Brochure in the process of searching for our new pastor.  Click here to view brochure.  Thanks to the Search Committee for their dedicated service!!
