Plans for pancake supper
at Centralia going well
By Mary Peterson
CENTRALIA - On Sunday,
February 19, Heather Smith lead
the service at Centralia United
Church. The childrens story was
about Joseph and his coat of
many col0ours. It was Mikayla
Skinner's 7th birthday and Hap-
py Birthday was sung.
The scripture was read by Cre-
lene Duck from Genesis 45, and
told the story of Joseph's forgive-
ness to his brothers. This was
also the theme for Heather's ser-
mon, "What Goes Around
Comes Around."
The "Minute for Mission", read
by Judy Mills, was entitled "A
Pancake Banquet". The message
told how M & S funds help sup-
port churches in communities in
Labrador.
Plans are going well for the
pancake supper and worship ser-
vice to mark the beginning of
Lent. Pancakes and sausages will
be served from 5:45 p.m. to 7
p.m., and the service will follow.
Tickets are available from the
Stewards at Zion and Centralia.

able to participate by helping
provide labour or in fund raising.
