THRIVENT CHOICE DOLLARS – Attention Thrivent Members, you can support the ministries of Prince of Peace through the Thrivent Choice Dollas. Login into your account at Thrivent.com. For more details check with Mike Bishop or Pastor Grant.

BAD RIVER – Tuesday March 4th. At Nicolet College in Rhinelander. At 5:00 pm there will be a meal and fellowship. At 6:00 pm there will be a drum ceremony, followed by the movie. Admission is $8. Reserve your seat online at nicoletlive.com. The film is about the tribe’s focus on protecting the land and water, especially given their proximity to Lake Superior. The potential problem would be from a rupture of the aging and exposed pipeline.

GOD’s WORK-OUR HANDS – once again we are tackling the Mountain of Love during Lent. We will start on March 9. The weekly schedule is as follows:

March 9 – canned goods

March 16 – peanut butter, jelly (plastic containers only please), juice boxes

March 23 – hot and cold cereal

March 30 – boxed foods (mac & cheese, crackers, dry soup mixes, jello, pudding)

April 6 – paper products (Kleenex, paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates even)

(Pro-tip – if you are like me and aren’t here every Sunday – plan a Walmart trip towards the end, purchase everything at once and bring it in on April 6)

NOTES: the top picture is from a hike I did on 2/24 – along Fern Ridge trail. An absolutely beautiful hike. I only went on the .7 loop because I was unsure of trail conditions. A wonderful start to the week and a trail I will go back and hike again.

Today is our dog’s birthday – Milo – he turned one year old today. His buddy Murphy (Tim & Betty Wright belong to Murphy) showed up at the church today for a bit of a romp. They had fun and we got tired watching them!

The picture at the bottom is what Burt has to deal with on a daily basis. Milo has to crawl into his lap in order to look out the window because using Burt as a pillow is much better than sitting in the chair by himself. (Not shown in the blog)

Hope your day is filled with a bit of silliness to make you smile.
