Sunday, February 3–10:30 a.m.–Four Chaplains’ Sunday.  American Legion sponsoring recognition of the Four Chaplains of various faiths who sacrificed their lives during World War 11.  Legionnaires are invited to come as a group.

Following the worship service, a Groundhog Banquet will take place in Oppermann Hall.  In honor of Punxsutawney Phil, the second Sunday potluck will feature fanciful favorites named after the furry woodchuck. Come with a hearty appetite to enjoy Phil’s finest cuisine and join in fun-filled frivolity.
