We have 2 great activities this month.  On Monday, March 4 at 10 am, we will leave for the Lewis and Clark Boat House Museum in St. Charles.  There is a movie about the Lewis and Clark expedition and replicas of the boats they used to explore the Missouri River.  We will have lunch at Magpies on Main Street after.  They feature sandwiches, flat bread pizzas, quiche and homemade desserts.  Yum!

On Wednesday, March 20 at 10 am, (NOTE:  THIS IS A DATE CHANGE), we will go to the art museum.  You are free to wander the galleries of your choice.  We will then go to lunch at Joey B’s on the Hill.  Joey B’s has  great variety and reasonable prices.

*Because the eligibility for driving our buses has changed, we are having difficulty getting bus drivers for our trips.  Consequently, members and regular attenders will be given priority when we can only get 1 driver.

Hope you are reading along with us in our church-wide Bible reading plan. We are reading only a chapter a day and have started in Matthew and will do the 3 synoptic gospels the first quarter. One thing I have discovered as I have aged, you can never know everything there is to know about God and His Word. We will finish the New Testament in one year and hopefully will have a greater understanding of our Mighty God. We are reading Monday-Friday so you have the weekend to catch up if you fall behind. This is an attainable goal for all of us. There will be a quiz at the end of the year!
