NOTICE REGARDING TRASHCANS 

During recent visits to our community, the most common deed restriction 

violation we find is Owners leaving their trashcans out in public view. 

Trashcans should be placed in view only after 7 PM the evening prior to 

the scheduled pick up day. The cans should be removed and stored out of 

view the same day following pick up. The volume of letters sent regarding 

this issue continues to be an increasing expense for Copper Grove 

Owners Association. All expenses incurred, including postage to mail out 

fines, weigh seriously on the assessment paid by each homeowner. We 

request your compliance to help keep cost to a minimum and to keep our 

community as attractive as possible. 

TRASH DAYS 

Garbage pick up occurs on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On the following 

holidays, our garbage is not collected and it will not be collected until the 

next designated pick up date. In other words, trash will NOT be picked up 

the day after a holiday. 

• Independence Day-July 4 th • Labor Day 

• Thanksgiving • Christmas • New Year’s Day 

Heavy trash is every Wednesday, except on holidays. Please keep 

your trash under cover until the evening before or morning of trash day. 

Leaving your trashcans and bags at your curb on any other day gives our 

neighborhood a not-so-attractive appearance. Please be considerate to 

those neighbors around you and to those trying to sell their homes and 

let us keep Copper Grove beautiful every day.

HOW DO WE LOOK? 

Curb appeal has a big impact on your property value, even if your home 

is not for sale. Buyers evaluate the neighborhood, not just one house. 

Stand back from your house and take a close look to see if it needs a minimakeover. 

Think about security as well. Has your shrubbery become 

overgrown, covering windows or blocking the sidewalk? Do low-hanging 

limbs obscure the front? Does the lawn have brown areas or weeds? Is 

the siding mildewed or paint peeling? You may want to ask a friend’s 

opinion; it is easy to overlook things we see everyday. Make plans now to 

spruce up. Cars that are parked in the street are also a turn-off to buyers. 

Make the extra effort to keep cars in the driveway. It looks better and is 

safer for your neighbors and your car.

Texas Christian School Class of 2016, Michael Johnson received a full ride scholarship to Chadron State University where he is a star athlete and student. 

Due to his dedication and skill, Michael was named the Eagle of the Week for Chadron State. Chadron wrote that “Johnson had his first career doubledouble 

in an Eagle win during Christmas break. The freshman was the key to victory down the stretch, grabbing several defensive rebounds and following 

up with free throws to finish with 18 points and 13 rebounds, which were both highs for either team in the game. In the final three minutes, Johnson had 

seven of the Eagles’ final 15 points, adding four critical rebounds and one steal during that span.” Texas Christian is proud of the student athlete Michael 

has continued to be. Keep shining for the Lord Michael!!! Join us February 21 st at 6:30 PM for our Infant-12 th Grade OPEN HOUSE!!!

management, people skills and business ethics. These are skills that

Boy Scouts 

Boy Scouts of America - 

Copperhead District 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found 

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant 

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership 

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities 

that allow them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards. 

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as 

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility 

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, 

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. 

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting 

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which 

help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam 

Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout 

Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) 

and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically 

meet weekly. 

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools 

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, 

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, 

Tipps, Walker and Wilson. Other Community groups include: Autumn 

Creek Baptist Church, Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United 

Methodist Church, Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair 

Kiwanis Club, Deerfield Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield 

Wards, Middlegate Village HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth 

Ann Seton Catholic Church and Thornton Middle School.

Steps for Students: 

A 5k Run/Walk 

Are you a runner who enjoys family-friendly 

races? Are you an alumnus of a parochial 

school? Do your children, grandchildren or 

children of friends attend a parochial school? 

Do you like to have fun with 10,000+ plus 

people? If you answered yes to any of these 

questions or even if you didn’t, the 2017 Steps 

for Students 5k Race/Walk is for you. Steps for Students is a 5k USA Track 

and Field Association sanctioned race which benefits Catholic education 

in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Held every year in February, 

Steps for Students has grown to include over 10,000 participants, filling 

the streets around the Co-Cathedral with runners, walkers, families, kids 

and adults. Each Catholic school in the Archdiocese has its own team 

which you can join or donate to. Race Day begins with a sunrise Mass at 

the Co-Cathedral followed by the race itself. In 2017, the race will take a 

new, East-West direction under I69, but it will still begin and end at the 

Co-Cathedral. Afterward, you can enjoy the Post Race Party in the nearby 

Race Day Village. All donations and registration fees (minus a $3 fee) go 

directly to your designated school, where they can be used to help fund 

scholarships, improve the campus, add to the educational experience of 

the students or whatever is needed or desired. If running and getting up 

early is not your thing, there is even a Snooze option. You can also sponsor 

your favorite runner or school by simply making a donation. The date 

for the 2017 Steps for Students 5k Race/Walk is Saturday, February 18, 

2017. The sunrise Mass begins at 6:30 AM with the race itself beginning 

at 8 AM. Registration is currently underway, but the last day to register at 

the low price of $15 (which includes a t-shirt) is February 1, 2017. After 

that, registration increases to $25, so register early. Steps for Students is 

a great way to get out, get some exercise, see our beautiful city with your 

own eyes and make some new friends, all the while supporting Catholic 

education and the wonderful opportunities it provides to students of all 

backgrounds and faiths. For more information about Steps for Students

FREE! SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE DINNER 

Take a break from cooking dinner on Tuesday, February 28 th ! Join us 

at Epiphany Lutheran Church for our Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake 

Dinner. Dinner is served from 5-7 PM. Enjoy some Mardi Gras music while 

you eat dinner! Children will create an Alleluia Banner, Mardi-Gras masks 

and Crowns and end the evening with a Parade and sing-a-long as we 

bury our Alleluias in preparation for Lent. Shrove Tuesday is a day of 

celebration as well as penitence, because it’s the last day before Lent. 

Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday came 

about as the last chance to indulge yourself and to use up the foods that 

weren’t allowed in Lent. Giving up foods: but not wasting them. In the 

old days there were many foods that observant Christians would not 

eat during Lent: foods such as meat and fish, fats, eggs and milky foods. 

So that no food was wasted, families would have a feast on the shriving 

Tuesday and eat up all the foods that wouldn’t last the forty days of Lent 

without spoiling. The need to eat up the fats gave rise to the French name 

Mardi Gras; meaning fat Tuesday. Pancakes became associated with 

Shrove Tuesday as they were a dish that could use up all the eggs, fats 

and milk in the house with just the addition of flour. 

St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church Events 

17020 West Road • www.stcuthbert.org 

You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday 

Pancake Supper on February 28 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes 

and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the Middle Ages. Food 

items like meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were regarded as restricted 

during Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many families would 

have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating 

pancakes on Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, 

fats and eggs as possible before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the 

consumption of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the name 

“Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras. You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday 

services at St. Cuthbert Episcopal church on March 1 st at 6:30 AM, 4:30 

PM and 7 PM. All services have Holy Communion and the imposition of 

ashes. The 4:30 PM service is designed for children and their families. 

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, which is 

dedicated to reflection, prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter. 

Lenten Study: Forty Days in the Force 

Join St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church on Wednesday nights March 8 th 

through April 5 th , from 6:30-7:30 PM for our Lenten series, Forty Days 

in the Force. All ages are invited to participate. We will explore the many 

spiritual themes that weave throughout the Star Wars films. From the 

Force to the dark side, the issues presented in the films have a moral 

and spiritual complexity that, if paid attention to, can help us better 

understand our place in the world and our relation to others and to 

God. Through Forty Days in the Force we hope to see the challenges and 

victories in our everyday Christian life. There will always be a teacher and 

a student and there will always be evil, but thanks to God and his Son, 

there will always be good and we will always have a purpose. Nursery will 

be provided for infants and toddlers. Star Wars activities will be provided 

for preschoolers. Those ages 6 through 106 will explore the force together.
