Fall
Festival
Join us for an organizational meeting for the October 2 Fall Festival (formerly St.
David's Bazaar). This meeting will be an opportunity to explore new
ideas for the event - the more good options we hear, the better this Fall
Festival will be! What would you like to see included this year?
What do you think should be eliminated? What have you seen or bought at
other church festivals/church bazaars that you've loved?
The meeting
will be 9 a.m. on Sunday, February 28.in the parish hall. I'm looking for a
volunteer to take notes at our meetings. Sandy Pruessner,
skpchef@gmail.com or

Recipes
Needed
The cookbook project
is back on track! We are gearing up to have it completed to sell at the
Fall Festival on October 2. We have 63 recipes that were submitted
previously. If you sent in recipes, please check with Jackie Hopkins to be
sure I still have them. We had some computer issues recently. We are
asking for one or more recipe from each man, woman and child in the
congregation, especially the children If you do
not cook, please send us the recipe for your favorite dish. Three or four
recipes from each person would be great. You can send recipes to one of
the committee members by e-mail, print them off and
give them to us-OR-the preferred method--type them directly into the publishers
website. Look for more information to come. April 1 is the deadline
to submit recipes.

The Newcomer/New
Member/Feast Group Luncheon held on February 14, 2010 was successful with over
100 in attendance, 20 of which were newcomers/new members. The luncheon also
provided an opportunity for parishioners to sign-up to join a Feast Group. I
would like to extend my appreciation to everyone who helped to plan and implement
the luncheon and for those who assisted with set-up, serving food and drinks
and clean up, including Jim Spearman, Sarah and Tom Perkins, Avis O'Leary, Jean
Wood, Jackie Hopkins, Terri Neal, Amy Bigham, Bonnie
Girard, Winona and Nate Rhodes, Mike Sheehan, Margi Scotti
and William Turner, and many others who worked behind the scenes. St. David's would like to welcome all
newcomers and new members. Kathy Sheehan, 788-1718
ECW News
Here’s the scoop you’ve been
waiting for - - Because of the feedback that Monday nights were too difficult
to attend, our meeting time has been changed to every third Sunday of the month
at noon! There will be lunch available at each gathering. This first
lunch is open for ideas and we need someone to take charge of that task for
just March.
The ECW March meeting will focus on
“getting to know one another” – but we are also going to present a short
program based on the book “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin. This
recent best seller is written with charm and wit. It is thought-provoking
yet compulsively readable. Reading just a few chapters of this book has
inspired ECW to start our own happiness project. Please mark March 21st
on your calendar.
The ECW Convention has been rescheduled for
this Saturday the 20th at 9 AM at
Prayer Requests
Thank you for praying for the wonderful
people on our prayer list in The Dove We are initiating a new policy in
which persons may stay on the list for four weeks unless otherwise noted when
the prayer request is received or unless another prayer request is submitted
for them. Beginning next week, we will triage our current list so that all go
off unless they’ve been placed there in recent weeks. Feel free to submit a new
prayer request to the office if you feel someone needs to remain on the
list. These may be left in the offering plate on Sunday, or placed in Hannah’s
box. Also, remember that the Daughters of the King (DOK) also pray for those on
the prayer list as well as for persons who prefer to submit a confidential
prayer request, which may be completed by contacting a DOK directly or by
completing the form on our Web site. Elizabeth Hammond, 736-2189.
