Look for April FirstNEWS  
The April issue of FirstNEWS is available now on the website and on Sunday in the narthex and on the information table in historic lobby. When you read from the website, you'll find it is now in a format that reads more like a paper publication. You can use the arrows on the side of each page to "turn" to a new page. And you can look for the small box in the navigation bar below the newsletter to enlarge it to full size. If you have any questions about how to use this new feature, contact Peg Robarchek.
 
Beginning with the May issue, FirstNEWS will be mailed only to those who do not have internet access to save postage, paper and printing costs-and to be more kind to our environment.
