Soup-er Bowl Sunday:

On Sunday, February 12, we will have our annual “Soup-er Bowl” Luncheon, immediately following the 11:00 worship service. All are invited to attend this fun time of sharing a meal and fellowship!

As in years past, we encourage everyone to bring some cans of soup, which we will collect and donate to local Food Pantries. The church’s Member Care Committee will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, drinks, and dessert.

Members and friends are invited to bring chips, dips, and any other side dishes to go with burgers and hot dogs. You may sign up to bring something following church this Sunday. (Everyone is welcome! – You do not need to bring anything.)

Offering Envelopes:
Please pick up a box of offering envelopes at the table in the back of the church, near the door.  In the front of each box, you will find an envelope for our “per capita.”  The per capita is the amount each PC(USA) church pays per person to support the work and mission of our denomination’s General Assembly and each presbytery. Peace Covenant will pay $36.90 for each member. Your donation to our per capita will allow Peace Covenant to pay our share without having to use funds we budget for our missions and other important work of our church.  We greatly appreciate your support and generosity to Peace Covenant Presbyterian Church!

Please pray for:
• Owen (Virginia Cunningham’s great-grandson)
• Beth Childress
• Naomi Fritz
• All people experiencing violence, war, hunger, or homelessness
• Trinity Presbyterian Church
