LEND A HAND, LITERALLY.  Actually, I just need an OUTLINE of your hand.  I am crafting a banner to depict the Belhar Confession to be used in worship on February 19th.  As a background on the banner I need "many hands". If you would like to help, just trace a careful outline of your hand after church today. Kevin will be at a table in the Activity Room to assist you.  Thanks. -Mary

FORGIVENESS: For the March Presbytidings, and a little spiritual and mental pondering,  I’m asking you to think about and share a situation when you felt the need to forgive or when you felt you should but couldn’t, or how it felt to be forgiven or not be forgiven.  
The Bible gives us many scriptures which tell us how but when it comes right down to doing it, we can find it rather difficult. I look forward to hearing how you address this challenge. Please give or send your thoughts to me atno later than February 20. –Jan
