Happy Birthday to the Visitation Ministry! In our first year, we completed 141 visits . That is 141 times members sat down together, face to face, and shared stories. Some may have been meeting for the first time while others may have been rekindling friendships, but we trust Christ is present in the midst of each visit. We also know from feedback that both the person being visited and the person making the visit are blessed by the time.

Just as there is always room for more at our table, there is always room for more on our Visitation Team. Please prayerfully consider joining the team. It only takes about an hour of your time each month to make a difference. To learn more, contact Karen Hanson at klh680@charter.net or 407-341-3944.

New Member Dinner

We had a delightful evening celebrating our newest members. The home was filled with wonderful conversation and delicious food. Thank you to Stephanie and Tim Lampley and their family for hosting us. New relationships were created while other relationships were deepened. We give thanks for all are part of this vibrant faith community.

Senior Recognition Sunday

April 7th

We are looking forward to celebrating our high school seniors. What is your connection to this group of seniors? Did you teach them in Sunday School, serve as a Covenant Partner, participate in youth events together, or know their family? We invite you, the whole congregation, to join us for the Senior Recognition Luncheon following the 11:00 a.m. service on April 7th. The cost is $10 per person ($30 max for the family). Please email Susan Oldham ( oldhamfamily@bellsouth.net or 615-299-7164) to reserve your place at the table.

SENIOR BIBLES

A special part of Senior Recognition Sunday is presenting each senior with a Bible signed by our community of faith. Bibles will soon be in Wilson Hall on Sundays and Wednesdays. Please take time to sign them for each senior. It will be a wonderful gift for them for years to come to look back on all the messages.

April 14 - Mary Sellers Shaw Installation

On April 14 in both services Mary Sellers Shaw will be installed by a commission of the Presbytery of Middle Tennessee as our Associate Pastor. We encourage everyone to be present for this day of celebration.

There will be a reception for both Mary Sellers Shaw and Anne Keener at 10:30 that morning in Wilson Hall. We will honor both of them on the recent ordination and installation of Mary Sellers Shaw and on Anne Keener being named as Commissioned Pastor for our church by the Presbytery of Middle Tennessee.

We look forward to this day with great joy.
