I am continually amazed at the wonderful group of kids we have. I love hearing “tractor” coming from the congregation and our wandering little ones. You never have to apologize to me for having your kids in worship.

Rules for children in the worship service:

One. If you find that you're sitting in front of a child and they can't see, lean to the side.

Two. If the children seated behind you are rustling papers, hand them a crayon.

Three. If there is a baby that is crying, offer to take the baby from their parent and walk to the back of the church and rock the child for a while. The parent really needs a break.

Four. If the teenagers are whispering give them some Smarties. The rustling and crinkling will replace their whispering.

Five. If an adult complains to an usher about the noisy children near them, offer to trade seats with that adult and then apologize to the parents of the children.

Six. When a child is running around giving everyone high-fives during the time of passing the peace/greeting your neighbor make sure to give them an extra fun high-five, and then high-five the next five adults that you see.

Seven. If a child has worn tap shoes to church and is dancing on the wood portion of the floor, slip the sheet music for "The Entertainer" to the pianist and roll with it.

Eight. When the children can't hear because an adult around them won't take off their puffy jacket and it keeps squeaking and distracting the children, offer to help them off with their jacket and go hang it up for them where it goes.

Nine. When the three-year-old insists on standing on the front pew turned backwards looking at the rest of the people, give the child a pair of very dark glasses. That will prevent the child from catching any adult's eye, which would lead to distracting them. This will protect the adults who as we know have very short attention spans and are easily distracted.

Ten. When a child in front of you is very squirmy, and then they finally turn around and you realize suddenly, "Oh, it's Jesus!" take it in stride and play Got Your Nose till he turns around to the front again.

If you would like to assist the disaster response in Hawaii.

Multiple fires continue to burn in Hawai'i on the islands of Maui and Hawai'i (The Big Island). While there are no PC(USA) congregations on those islands, PDA has been in touch with a pastor on O'ahu and the Presbytery of the Pacific to discuss ways PDA can support those impacted by the devastating fires. To support our response, gifts can be designated to DR000165. bit.ly/HF23-SM
Please join us in praying for the affected communities.

Owing to the power outages, services this morning are cancelled.
I know people had severe damages last night. A friend of mine had her house a total loss. Be in prayer for people who had losses. And keep aware of ways you may be able to help!

Silence, Contemplation, Peace, Joy, Confidence, and Love.
Sundays in Lent at 4:00, we will have a book study. Feb 26-April 2.
The book is “The Art of Lent” by Wendy Beckett.
The book has an art work for each day of Lent with a study devotion associated with the art. The book is available online for $17.00 from Amazon or from Intervarsity Press or other sources, I am sure.
You do not have to buy the book. At the gathering we will have the art on the screen for every one to see. We will share our own time of devotion and reflection on the topics of Silence, Contemplation, Peace, Joy, Confidence, and Love.
