Almost Nothing Makes Me Smile More!!
How about bringing a kid-friendly food donation for families at Harbor Interfaith? (peanut butter, mac and cheese, tuna... whatever you think would be fun for a family to enjoy (or something your own kids enjoy!).
 
Coffee Hour will celebrate Earth Day with seeds to plant and gummy worms in “dirt “ pudding for a treat! Stay around to get to talk with other families.
Looking forward to it! Godspeed, Suzanne Gatlin.

Solicit Ads For
Antiques Show Program
It has been profitable for the Antiques Show to have ads placed in the annual Antiques Show program.
This is to announce that now is the time to ask your hair salon, favorite restaurant, dry cleaners, bank, gift shop, etc. for their support of our local fundraiser by taking an ad in our program.
Also welcome are support ads from our parishioners.
Please come to the church office and pick up parishioner letters, merchant letters and last year’s programs to use in soliciting ads. It is helpful to show a merchant last year’s program which illustrates how ads are presented in the program, and merchants appreciate having the merchant’s letter for tax purposes.
