Last week's acolyte training was good, thanks for your participation. For those of you who missed it, we will have a second training in March. Stay tuned!

• This week Greyson, Eric and Doug are the youth scheduled for serving at 9am.
• Confirmation class--we get back together after what feels like forever. This week's question is: what keeps you close to God?
• Youth Group with Allie. We are talking about sharing a Lenten discipline. Speaking of disciplines, tomorrow Lent begins. I know a lot of people give something up for Lent and if that helps you in your relationship with God, great. For me, since I was a teenager I have added something during Lent. One year it was flossing my teeth. I have been doing it ever since. This year I will say Compline every night before bed, and I will buy six mosquito nets from Episcopal Relief and Development (one for every week of Lent). What will you do?

See you Ash Wednesday!
