So, you may ask, what’s Fat Tuesday and how can it be on Sunday? Well, Fat Tuesday is the name traditionally given to the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday when families would gather to cook every luscious dish they could think of that used their butter and fat up before the beginning of Lent. That’s because Lent was then a time of fasting and simple food was the rule of the day.

These days, Fat Tuesday looks a lot more like a Mardi Gras party in many communities. In a mix of the two, everyone is invited to come to our Sunday March 6th  Fat Tuesday Potluck Lunch after service and enjoy great food( including some special New Orleans dishes) and King Cake (that’s the Mardi Gras part), along with our special guests "Covington Ridge" who will provide wonderful Southern gospel entertainment. 

If you’d like ideas for food, just call or email Becky or if you’d like to bring your usual wonderful dishes, just go ahead.  We’ll provide the King Cake and drinks.

On Sunday, January 2, Shiloh will be celebrating its annual New Year’s breakfast.  This is a great time for fellowship and preparation for the new year.  This year, breakfast will be a pot luck event.  E-mail or call Jim to let him know what you’re bringing.  We look forward to seeing you there.

Christmas holiday visits to a parent in prison or jail can be traumatic experiences for a child.  The Christmas stocking gift makes that time a little brighter and less tense….and the stocking you make may be the only gift some of these children receive…

These home-made stockings are filled with small toys and other goodies.  As always, we supply the stockings! There is a standard pattern, but you can make it as plain or fancy as you like.   See Carole for the pattern if you don’t have one.

Bring one and all to our family night in November for the decorating and sewing of stockings for this project. Dinner will be served and it’s a great way to get in the true Christmas spirit.

 Shiloh Youth have been blessed to be in partnership with Breath of Life UMC for the last 2 years!  The people at this church have taught us all so much about faith  and perseverance.  We are humbled to be a part of their family.

 Recently Dick and Carole Jenkins have started a sewing and quilting ministry with the young people at Breath of Life!  Amazing! 

 Pastor John Jones and his wife Flo, along with the entire congregation, have invited us to be their guests for lunch on Feb 28th at 2:30.  It would be wonderful to have as many people from Shiloh as possible attend this event.  You will be blessed!    

 Please RSVP to Sherry Parker by Feb 14 if you plan to attend.  We can carpool from the church.
