PRAYER OF CONFESSION Lord, you call us to be salt and light; you ask a lot and expect the world of us.

Forgive our unbelief and strengthen us in our convictions, for the sake of your kingdom. Amen.

Draw us in the Spirit’s tether, for when humbly, in thy name, two or three are met together, Thou art in the midst of them: Alleluia! Touch we now thy garment’s hem. As the brethren used to gather in the name of Christ to sup, then with thanks to God the Father, break the bread and bless the cup. So knit thou our friendship up. All our meals and all our living make as sacraments of thee, that by caring, helping giving, we may true disciples be. We will serve thee faithfully.

MISSION IN WORSHIP TODAY
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN AND ST. ANNE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCHES CO-HOSTING WINTER RELIEF HOMELESS SHELTER: FEBRUARY 13-20 - Help is needed and appreciated NOW, more than ever. It takes over 100 volunteers to make this week happen. Our online website, www.homelesshelper.org, is up and running with more information about the volunteer opportunities. In addition, we have an immediate need for clean twin size sheet sets and towels, hand towels and washcloths. On Sunday, please drop-off any items marked “winter relief” in the narthex or in the church office Monday-Friday. Last, but not least, our guests love home-baked goodies; it is a real treat as they come in from a cold day. Such goodies may be delivered around 4:00 pm any afternoon during our host week.
CUBA CHURCH VISIT - Within the context of the partnership between our Presbytery of Baltimore and the Central Presbytery of the Cuban Presbyterian Reformed Church (https://www.oikoumene.org/en/member-churches/presbyterian-reformed-church-in-cuba), Rev. Hathaway, Betsy Jenkins and Katie Barbour will be visiting that Presbytery from February 10-17. They will spend the weekend at the congregation in Caibarien then attend a conference (“Encuentro”) with representatives of the thirteen congregations of the Cuban presbytery. Twenty-eight members of our presbytery, including Moderator, Jack Carlson, and Executive Presbyter, Jackie Taylor will travel with representatives of ten congregations of our presbytery. “SOUPER” BOWL OF CARING - Since 1990, young people have been leading the charge and inspiring others to collect dollars and food around the time of the “Big Game” (the Super Bowl). Groups then give 100% of their donations to a local charity of their choice. Our youth have decided to give all money collected in worship today to the Light House. Nationwide, more than $110 million has been collected to date changing the nation's largest weekend of football into the largest weekend of caring (www.souperbowl.org). SKINNERS TO LETOHRAD - Following some years of conversation, our partnership with the Letohrad parish of the Evangelical Church of the Czech Brethren will now include a longer term volunteer commitment from our congregation. Ed and BJ Skinner will spend six months in Letohrad (March – September), working with that congregation in a host of different programs, including new opportunities for outreach by the church using the “vehicle” of English language lessons. Ed and BJ are being commissioned for this ministry in worship today. The MEMBER DIRECTORY & ANNUAL REPORT are available today at the rear of the church.
ANNOUNCEMENTS MIDDLE EAST LECTURE TODAY FROM 12:15-1:30 PM - The Justice & Peace Committee is delighted to host Jean-François Seznec, PhD, for his annual talk on the Middle East in Fellowship Hall.
