Lent is a good time to commit to giving money to projectsthat help those in need. One way is to involve the wholefamily by collecting coins. During this Lenten season wewill be distributing an adult and child's version of a LentenGiving Calendar. Items on the daily guide will remind us ofall we have and how little others may have. Each Sundaywill be a time to pray for those in need or offer prayers ofthanks for all of which we are blessed. United ThankOffering boxes will be utilized for the collection withproceeds being donated after Easter. Adultcontributions will go directly to the UTO while the childrenwill be given a list of organizations from which they may

choose to designate their collection.

We want this to be a fun activity for children and adultsalike and be a daily reminder of how blessed we are.Calendars and boxes will be available for distribution onSunday, March 3rd at the Pancake Lunch following the10:30 a.m. service. All are encouraged to participate.
