Villa Capri Ministry
We've been having fun with the new 6 year old black triplets who have been coming regularly to the kid's program. Ask Jody how we tell them apart. One of the older girls who have helped us so much has moved to Spokane. She will be missed. The kids had great fun decorating Valentine Cookies for their party. They love craft activities where there are lots of art supplies to create with. Brad does a wonderful job telling stories which began with Creation. Of course snack time is always a hit! Stop by sometime and look at the poster with the pictures and names of almost all the kids. 29 pictures so far. Thank you for your support and prayers. 
Revelation Continues...
If you haven't been to the Tuesday night dinner/Bible study it's not too late. Each Tuesday at 6:00 pm a meal is served and at 6:45 pm we begin our study of the book in the Bible that promises blessings to those who read it. Come and join us. Childcare is provided and the lessons conclude promptly at 7:30.
Special Announcement from Reach Out
Special announcement from Reach Out, a Federal Way ministry to homeless men. (Our church will provide meals each night during the third week in March. Please contact Pastor Keith for details and to volunteer to provide meals.) March will be here SOON.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Reach Out Meal Support will be done by Federal Way United Methodist for the first two weeks.
 
We are counting on meal help from West Valley Advent Christian for the third week and from Federal
Way Church of Christ for the last full week of March. St. Theresa's and R.O. Leadership will feed the men the last few days of the month. 
 
There is a Server's Guide that we've prepared to help your folks know what is expected. 
 
It will be helpful for WVAC to visit in the first week of March if possible. Please let me know what night might be convenient for a few of your folks to tour and see the process.
 
FWCC has the fall experience so they will not need to tour.
 
Can both of your churches provide milk, juices, lunch meats, cheeses and cereal for the lunches and breakfasts?  We have the bread for sandwich making donated. We also will have all of the non food items that are needed, plates, cups, tableware, napkins, bowls and we will have the coffee, sugar and creamer, and mayo and mustard for sandwiches.
 
Thanks you for helping with homeless men of Federal Way. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call.
