Hamden Plains United Methodist Church

The theme for our February meeting was, of course, Valentine’s Day.  We began the meeting by welcoming Debbie as a new member and being surprised by Ruby’s joining us! Lunch was served on the heart plates that Marion brought us: Saturday’s Dinner for a Dollar leftover chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes with a most delicious gravy, and bread and butter were a welcome addition to the food we brought from home. Marion’s heart-shaped cakes and Valentine’s Day candies were the perfect ending to our meal. Our devotion began with Marion giving us a history of Valentine’s Day and concluded with a reminder that because God first loved us, we are to love and serve others. There was much laughter and lively discussions as we took turns answering the Valentine’s Day questions that Marion had glued onto red and pink hearts. For the final activity of the afternoon, we put together custom-made Valentine’s Day pens. It was such a wonderful time of love and fellowship!
