Easter Finger Food Fellowship
Sunday, April 1st
Beginning after the sunrise service and following the 10:00 o'clock service.  

Please plan to bring small, one to two bite sized, breakfast dishes to share. Think along the lines of deviled eggs, fruit, vegetables, small sausages, meatballs, or breads.

This is one of my favorite yearly events. The fellowship  hall is always beautifully decorated and breaking bread together is a wonderful way to celebrate the Risen Christ!

Blessings,
Rhonda
