Announcements

Please contact Faith Farhner for your Church Nurse needs for the next two weeks as Marie will be out of town until February 8. The Faithfully Fit should continue to report their progress to Marie.


The Faithfully Fit are off to a great start toward their goals of overall health. The 3R's (Restored, Renewed, Refreshed) are in the lead so far in weight loss, movement, and accomplishing their emotional goals. The Thumb Warriors are doing well and are leading in the spiritual goal category. You can see who is on your team and check out the details on the wall in the Fellowship Hall. 


Our Annual Church Celebration is next Sunday! On Friday, you should have received an email with the attachment of the annual reports from our ministry committees and leadership groups. Please take the time to read. It is amazing to see the impact Pigeon River has had this past year. Our competitive trivia game will be a highlight again so read carefully. A potluck will follow the meeting. Please bring food to share with the group.


On the first two Sundays of each month through March, you can bring a puzzle to share or pick one up from the table in the Fellowship Hall. Please note: Any puzzles left on the table after the second Sunday may be donated. If you picked up a puzzle and are missing a piece, please check the table as a single piece was found.


Please join us for a new Women's Bible study starting February 4th. We will meet for eight Wednesdays from 9:00 - 10:30 in the conference room. This study will use the book Dwell on These Things and will help you memorize scripture through video teaching and personal study. Here is a link to order your book Please contact Phyllis Yoder if you have any questions.  


Those interested in being a part of the winter reading group can sign up at the Welcome Center. The book that has been selected is "The Prodigal God" by Tim Keller. If you have questions contact Dale Ackerman.


Coffee orders are due next Sunday, February 1st.


Bay Shore Camp is hosting An Acoustic Evening With Sidewalk Prophets on May 30th. Come enjoy an acoustic evening under the stars — filled with music, laughter, and stories that inspire and connect. Get tickets here.
