We are almost ready to enter a new month. It’s always good to sit and reflect on the best things in life and the reasons why we enjoy the changing seasons.

What’s your favorite thing about February?

Here’s my Top 5 Favorite Things about February (Not counting Maureen’s Birthday!)

5. It’s Short and Sweet – February knows you’ve got things to do, so it keeps it brief.

4. Groundhog Weather Predictions – Because nothing says “science” like waiting for a rodent to decide if winter sticks around.

3. Valentine’s Day = a second Halloween.

2. Presidents’ Day – A day off to score discounts on mattresses we didn’t even know we needed.

And my #1. The Super Bowl – The one day a year when it's socially acceptable to eat an entire pizza, a dozen wings, and a vat of Cheese dip by yourself.

Dear God, as I step into this new month, I thank you for the gift of a fresh start. Fill my life with your grace, open doors of opportunity, and guide my steps to serve others in your Name. May this month be filled with peace, joy, and abundant blessings. Amen.



PRAYER LIST UPDATE

If you have put someone on the prayer list and it has been on for longer than 2 weeks, and would like them to remain on the prayer list, please contact Melissa, in the church office, Rev Bill or Patti MacLennan

by January 30th. Thank you!  office@uccduxbury.org revbill@uccduxbury.org   pmaclennan@uccduxbury.org

We keep a PRAYER LIST in our church bulletins each week as a reminder of people and situations that allows us to offer specific prayers for those people, pray with purpose and clarity, rather than just any general requests. A Prayer List also allows us to demonstrate a commitment to actively supporting others through prayer by keeping track of their concerns. It is a sign of a healthy Faith Community as we can encourage communal prayers and demonstrate our care for one another's needs.
