Fishing Derby
Have you helped with Countryside’s Annual Fishing Derby in the past? Are you interested in helping out this year? If you answered YES to either of these questions, then you are invited to attend a brief organizational meeting following worship on Sunday, February 16.

Spring Pizza Sale
Countryside’s Spring Pizza Sale will be held on Saturday, March 14.  Cost is $10 for plain, $12 for pepperoni, both with or without onion.  All orders need to be in by Sunday, March 8th at 8 PM. Pay when you pick up between 11 AM & 1 PM on the 14th.  Order forms are available in the bulletin and on the reception table.  You can also order by email at: rj.imdorf@gmail.com or call  570-586-9092.

Key Fobs Available
Key Fobs are available in the church office for EVERYONE who attends Countryside, not just for members. We lock the doors of the church to create a safe and secure place for all who attend. The locked doors are not meant to keep anyone out. You can pick up a fob in the church office. There is a $10.00 deposit which will be returned if you decide to return your fob at any time.

Book Club
The next meeting of the Susan Duncan Book Club will be on February 24 at 7 pm at the home of Holly Ostopick.  The book we will be discussing will be The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf. The Weight of Silence is a tense and profoundly emotional story of a parent's worst nightmare, told with compassion and honesty. Heather Gudenkauf skillfully weaves an explosive tale of suspense and ultimately, the healing power of love. Beautifully written, compassionately told, and relentlessly suspenseful. Any questions, please contact Anne Mecca at annemecca@vidsure.net

Church Cancellations
During the winter months, information about church closings will be distributed by email and posted on Facebook and our church website. You can also call the church office at 570-587-3206 any time, day or night, for a recorded message about worship service and other event cancellations. Contact the church office to be added to the email distribution list: office@countryside-church.org
