Blankets are $10 each and you can purchase them by writing a check to OPC with the designation “blankets.” Follow this link to see their report on how many blankets were shipped by CWS last year.

Calling all kids to Sunday School! This winter and spring we will be learning the church’s oldest and simplest confession: The Apostles’ Creed. It promises to be fun and exciting and utterly true. Come at 9:45am this Sunday!

Continue to pray for our dear friend Kathy Webb as she continues to heal and rehabilitate from her accident. She is now at Universal Health in Oxford and requests that visitors be few and far between—not for lack of affection but because she is so busy with her rehabilitation! This week Carole Jackson will be our accompanist at 8:08 and Linda Woodlief will be our accompanist at 11:00. We are grateful to both of these women for sharing their gifts with us!

Prayers for: Becky and Isabella Baird, Michael Boyd, Ann Currin, Linda and Mike Diamond, Randy Downey, Julie Gaydon, Diane and Fred Heath, Hannah Hobgood, Sue Huggins, Barbara Laurent, Will Newcomb,  Greg and Kellie Price,  Kathy Webb

Happy Birthday to: Rett Jackson – 7th; Adalyn Bowen – 8th

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.” (Isaiah 61:10-11 NRSV)
