Souper Bowl Sunday on Feb. 5 Peace is once again collecting food on “Souper Bowl” Sunday, which falls on February 5^th this year. Food will be donated to the Crosslines Churches food bank. ******* Food For Friends A ticket raffle to benefit the Crosslines Pantry Expansion continues, with the drawing scheduled for Feb. 12. Due to closure of the Salvation Army Food Pantry and an increased demand since May 22^nd, the pantry needs expansion. If you would like to help, contact Sarah Jo in the church office. ***** Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou annoitest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
