Congratulations

Our Chili Cook Off and Talent Show was a good success this afternoon.  Jim Wilkison won the top prize in the chili cooking competition (best chili). Andy Adams' entry was judged spiciest and Ethan Hasenoehrl's was blandest.  Madeline Blunt was earned first place in the talent show.  Congratulations to everyone who participated.

Speaking of competition, our worship services tomorrow morning will be competing with the Seahawks playing in the NFL playoffs against the Bears in Chicago. Surely no one needs any help making the right choice about where to be at 10 a.m. tomorrow!  In case you find yourself wavering, ask "What would Jesus do?"  No matter if you're a big Seahawks fan or not, this ought to be an easy question.
