Annual Meeting Sunday, February 8, 2026 After worship Weekly Creation Care Topic Reduce/Reuse/Recycle Recycle: Did you get new pots/pans? What to do with the old ones? If they are usable, donate to a local thrift store or offer to a family member or friend who may use them. Otherwise, you can put them into your recycling cart for recycling garbage pick up. Remove plastic or rubber handles as able but not necessary (handles are not recyclable). As noted in Consumer Reports, "If a nonstick pan has any chips or scratches, it should be thrown away (recycled) and replaced. The concern being the components of some nonstick coatings, PFOA/PFAS which may be present, has been clearly linked to health risks.” Click here to read more. 608-838-9322  5710 Anthony St. McFarland WI 53558 Office Hours: Wednesdays & Thursdays 9am-1pm Rev.
