Auxiliary All You Can Eat Breakfast is on February 20. 8-11.
Chicken BBQ on February 23. Chicken halves only.
There will be a special meeting on Sunday, February 27, following the service of worship at 9:00 a.m.,
when the Council will present to the congregation a candidate to be our spiritual leader.
The Council, guided by the Holy Spirit, has voted to call Thomas Lawton to our congregation.
He occupied the pulpit twice in December, and has been here every Sunday for the month of January
and most of February. Lawrence Gilley has been sending out his sermons, so hopefully many have been
able to hear him speak. If not, your next chances are this Sunday, the 20th, or the 27th,
when the vote will take place…
We hope everyone will be able to join us for this important decision.

positive impact this program will have on our students, but we need YOU to make this program a success!

With the wish for Story Hour for those not wanting to go out after nap time, but the hesitancy
for large groups of different people each week, we’re hoping that Story Hour Pods offer
a great option for time we’re in. Groups will be small, with the same kids at each gathering
(don’t worry, it’s ok to miss every now and then too).
Registration and times coming soon.
In the meantime, be thinking if you would like to help us host a pod,
weekly or on a rotating schedule! It just may help us offer them at
alternative times that work better for you!
Once we have enough people to confirm a class, we’ll put out full registration and get you rolling!

MPS Winter Fun!
Thank you to our MPS Student Council Readers! Members of MPS Student Council have been reading to various classrooms during the month of February.
Happy National School Counselor Week to Lisa Corasanti our grade 7-8 guidance counselor and
Faculty and staff made a “sensory path” at MPS! Sensory paths can be used in a variety ways. Students can use them for movement breaks.
They can also be used to reinforce material students are learning. For example, a student could count by 2s as they jump or say the alphabet as they do wall push ups.
Robert Gray our grade 9-12 guidance counselor. We thank you for all of your work and support of our students here in Waterville
