Thursday, February 9: Senior Adult Fun & Game Day, 10:00 a.m., Fellowship Hall Fun and Game Day will be held on Thursday, February 9th, in Fellowship Hall starting at 10:00 am. This month will be a “Soup Day” again. Four people are bringing four different kinds of soup and two people are bringing cornbread. Everyone else is bringing a snack or a dessert. Last month was a great day, the food was wonderful, the weather was cold and windy (which made the soup taste that much better), the games were fun and the fellowship made you feel welcome. We have several tables with people playing different games, if you get tired of playing one game you can switch when the game ends. Several of the people on their first visit said they didn’t know how to play any of the games but now they are pros. So if you are afraid you don’t know how to play, don’t let that keep you from joining us. We are all good teachers!! Don’t sit at home and watch TV, come and meet new people and have fun. Our numbers continue to grow, hope you will be in the count this month!! If you need more information call 898-0301.

Thursday, February 16: Senior Luncheon, Noon, Fellowship Hall The program will be about the Murfreesboro Greenway Trail System. Melinda Tate, who is the Program Coordinator for the greenway will be the speaker. Murfreesboro is very blessed to have such a great Greenway that is available all year long. Many seniors have never taken advantage of this great place to walk and enjoy being outside, especially in warm weather. We hope you will plan to come and learn about the opportunities open to seniors. Our last luncheon in January had 121 people in attendance with Lisa Spencer as our speaker. It was an entertaining and enjoyable program and we appreciate Ms. Spencer being our presenter. Please sign up in your Sunday School class or call the church office to register (893-1322).
