Seder Dinner
RESPONSES ARE LOW! PLEASE RSVP ASAP   
This year's Palm Sunday Seder Dinner is already next Sunday April 9. We have a very low response rate so far, so if you are planning on attending, please email Karen Brand and let her know today! Forms will also be available in this Sunday's bulletin 
 

Deacons Preparing for Easter
The Deacons are getting ready to prepare the Easter food baskets and need your help. Please place your donations in the box in the narthex. The following items are needed: applesauce, apple juice, cereal, maple syrup, cans of sliced pineapple, and Easter candy.  We will need by Palm Sunday (next Sunday), five pound bags of potatoes and hams for each box. Many of the grocery stores run a promotion to earn a free ham. If you have any questions, please speak to any of the Deacons. Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.
 

Easter Egg Hunt 
All UPC Kids 3rd grade and younger are invited to join us for an Easter Egg Hunt On Sunday April 9th immediately following worship. (11:15am). We will need a headcount for this event to ensure we have enough for everyone, so please be sure to sign up in the UPC hallway
  
Memorial Hymnals 
We are now beginning to receive donations for purchase of the new "Glory to God" Presbyterian hymnal. Envelopes are now in the pew for that purpose. Each hymnal is only $20 and may be purchased for oneself or in memory of or in honor of a loved one or for a particular accomplishment. Donations can be put in the offering plate or in the designated box in the church lobby. 

Operation Love Tsunami 
We are now collecting congregational gifts for this year's confirmation class through our annual Love Tsunami collection. Any small tokens of support are cherished by each confirmation class. This year's class includes Lizzie Broder, Kate Clarkson, Lindsey McLaughlin and Lauren Tom. The gifts will be distributed at the annual Confirmation Families Dinner on Sunday May 7.
