THE NEXT BIG MEN'S EVENT!!!

Come join us for the next big event for the Men of Saint Margaret's! Next Saturday, February 6th from 8-10am, we'll kick off the new year with a fun social event for the men of the parish. Among the activities:

* New breakfast teams will be revealed NFL draft style. A 7th team is being added to the rotation. 6 new men who expressed interest in joining a team have been added, teams have been shuffled up and there is room for you in this growing, fun ministry.

* Door prizes will be awarded.

* 2010 Men's events will be rolled out including a retreat, golf tournament, father/son/daughter events and more!

Plan on being part of this fun social event as we plan the upcoming year for the great Men of Saint Margaret's.

SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER HELP NEEDED!

This year's pancake supper will again kick off Lent. Help is needed to cook pancakes for the parish on Tuesday February 16th from 4 to 7:30pm. The youth will help serve, clean up and run games/crafts for the younger children. Plan on bringing your family to this fun event that always draws a huge crowd!

SAINT MARGARET'S 101 IS BACK!!!

Whether you've been at Saint Margaret's for a week or 25 years, this class will help you get to know even more of what makes this church so special. Known as "the most fun Sunday school class on the planet," this 6 week course includes a behind the scenes tour of the church, a simplifed breakdown of Sunday's worship service, Saint Margaret's Jeopardy game (with prizes) and more.

Come join the fun Sundays at 9:30am starting January 17th!

NEW BREAKFAST TEAMS

We are soon going to "shuffle up" the breakfast teams in an effort for us each to get to know each other better. Stay tuned for details as we'll build this into a fun "draft party" type event!

DO YOU KNOW?

In an effort for us all to get to know even more of the "Men of Saint Margaret's" we'll add photos and info on individuals from time to time. This allows you to put a name with the face when you enter the doors of Saint Margaret's.

Meet Roy Estes. Roy has been attending Saint Margaret's for about three years. When he's not busy at his regular job as a transport nurse, Roy works hard on Sundays making sure the sound board is manned and sermons are recorded for the website. He also serves on a breakfast team. Roy graduates tomorrow (December 14th) from Gardner-Webb with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. Join me in congratulating Roy for finishing his degree! Thanks for your help on Sunday's and job well done Roy!

KNOW A NEEDY BOY THAT COULD USE A CHRISTMAS BIKE?

Gentlemen –

I haven’t had an opportunity to become as involved as I would like to be with the Men of St Margarets just yet – but hopefully, with an improved business climate in 2010 some time will become available. In the interim – I have one item I need a small bit of help with. I have a brand new / in the box boys bicycle (12 inches) for a 3 -4 year old boy. I need some help finding a little boy who would like a bike for Christmas. I can assemble it if necessary or leave it in the box – whichever is better. I got the same bike for my kid and would really like the opportunity to make some other little boy as happy as my son was when he saw his new bike. If any of you know of a boy who needs a bike – please let me know. I can bring it by the church or drop it off at the boy’s house Christmas Eve.

Thanks in advance for the help – looking forward to getting to know y’all in 2010!
