Scripture for the Week

Psalm 62, verses 5-7

For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.

Souper Bowl of Caring

Food DriveOur annual Souper Bowl of Caring offering will be collected on February 5. In addition to the offering, we are conducting a Food Drive.

Beginning January 22, please bring non-perishable food items and place them in the boxes located in the narthex and in Murray Hall. These collection boxes will remain in place until February 5 when the youth will visit RARA and deliver our bountiful offering of food for the pantry.

Murray Hall Open House

building

The Renovations to Murray Hall are completed. You are invited to an Open House on Sunday, January 22, to have a closer look at the fine work that has been done. (Click to get a sneak preview!)

There will be one worship service that day - at 11:00 in the sanctuary. From 10:30-11:00 tours of the renovated spaces will be given. Coffee and juice will be served in Brady Chapel. Hosts will be stationed throughout the building to answer questions and explain the work that has been done.

The 11:00 worship service will include a service of dedication for the completed spaces. Following worship, there will be a celebratory buffet luncheon for everyone in Dunlap Hall. Then from 2:00-4:00 we will hold an Open House so the wider community may view the changes.

The original vision that led to this remarkable project entailed ways in which the life of this church could be enhanced. Issues related to accessibility were front and center in the decisions that were made. But these changes were never seen as simply serving the members of Lexington Presbyterian. Part of our mission is to make our facilities available to the larger community. Murray Hall really is a community resource. Committees from across the community use our facilities. We host concerts, meetings, educational classes, recitals, luncheons. The renovations will be a blessing to many.

Cookie Making for Children

CookiesOn Saturday, January 21, we'll have a cookie-making and decorating time for the elementary-aged children in the church. We'll be making church-shaped cookies for the Open House the following day. The cookies will be the refreshments at the open house, so we'll need lots of cookie makers to prepare all the cookies!

The cookie making session will be from 3-5 on Saturday in the church kitchen. Philip Coulling and Dianne Herrick will be the assistant cookie makers. Bring a church-shaped cookie cutter if you have one. We look forward to seeing you for the fun.
