Spring Lunch
Sunday, March 25 | 12:30 PM
Join us on Sunday following the morning worship service for our annual spring lunch! This year, we will be celebrating and honoring those who have served in the Children's Ministry with a "Garden Party."
The menu is BBQ, baked beans, slaw, mac & cheese, cupcakes, and a surprise dessert. **Very Important** Please drop off your pans at the loading dock behind the Community Life Center (lower level/parking lot side by 10 a.m.) If you have prepared a hot dish, please bring it hot.
Rain or shine!! We WILL be having the Spring Lunch no matter what the weather is like on Sunday, but we have a contingency plan in case of rain. Please see the insert in Sunday's bulletin for details. We will not have a tent outside, so you most likely won't need lawn chairs.
We are excited to celebrate together as a covenant community!

ProjectSHARE March Collection:
Changed Choices
In March, our ProjectSHARE collection is to help Changed Choices. All of us make unfortunate choices. But when bad choices land a woman in jail or prison, this time behind bars can serve as a wake-up call. And when women hear that call and open their hearts and minds to a new way of life, Changed Choices steps in. For information about the Changed Choices organization and the list of items that we are collecting, please see our
ProjectSHARE webpage. Thank you for your donations!
