THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ~ A bad attitude in like a flat tire...you can’t go anywhere until you change it!!!

THANK YOU ~ Thanks for the warmth and love at my 85th Birthday Open House on February 8th. ~ George & Jo Vineyard. (See Bulletin Board for Card)

MALARIA UPDATE: The World Health Organization’s World Malaria Report 2014 report says that the malaria mortality rate decreased by 47 percent worldwide between 2000 and 2013. The use of insecticide-treated bed nets is one important reason for the drop, the report said. The United Methodist Church’s Imagine No Malaria initiative has distributed more than 2.3 million bed nets, and is working towards its goal to raise $75 million by 2015 to dramatically reduce deaths and suffering in Africa. Please consider giving to the Imagine No Malaria campaign during Lent.
