Welcome February!

We all understand ‘hump day,’ Wednesday, the middle of the week. That is how I feel about February. It is the middle month of winter. It still can be cold, it still can be snowy, but the month is short and you know Spring is not too far off.

This February will be a busy one here at SecondFirst. As you continue to read this publication you will read about all the activities from a special coffee hour, to the youth group events, and the start of Lent. There is something for everyone this month.

This month we will have the pleasure of having Norm Shirk with us twice, February 12, and 26. It is such a pleasure to have him in worship. Ash Wednesday is February 22. We will have a Taizé-style Ash Wednesday worship with the imposition of ashes. The service begins at 6:30 pm. A soup dinner will be offered at 6:00 pm in the dining room.

Let us all enjoy the ‘hump month.’ February has many blessings, whether you enjoy them from your warm living room, or outside tubing, or sledding or maybe from some place warm with a sandy beach. And if you think, “Becky, you’re crazy. February is cold and awful!” Remember pitchers and catchers report to spring training the week of February 18! Spring will be here soon!
