Holy Communion During Lent
 The ministry focus during Lent
will be on Holy Communion and
it's place in the United Methodist Church, in Christianity and in our own personal faith journeys. Because this is our Lenten focus, SUMC will be serving Communion on the following Sundays:
March 1st, March 15th, March 29th, and Easter Sunday, April 12th.
As you learn more about Communion, please consider taking a step in the journey by helping serve the elements (bread and juice) at one of these services. If you have an interest, or have questions, please contact Pastor Brody, Ann Uthoff or Carol Crisman. May you have a blessed and Holy Easter season.

New Members Class!
 If you are not a member of SUMC and you are ready to explore that option, keep reading. We will meet three times and request that you be at two of the three meetings if you can't make all of them. We will meet new people, learn about SUMC and discern what membership in a church means.
When: March 22nd, 29th and April 5th at 10:10 a.m. (This will take place between the 9:15 and 10:45 services)
Where: Fireside Room behind the sanctuary.
Note: Membership is open to all who are over 18 years old. If you are younger than that, we request you take part in an upcoming confirmation class in order to
become a member.

Jesus' Power Pulls Us Through
 Believe it or not, it's time to
start thinking about VBS. We are in need of lots of volunteers to make this a week the kids will remember. We will need lots of shepherds. These are the people that take their group from station to station throughout the evening. If you are interested or have questions about volunteering, contact Heather Nekola. The VBS volunteer and child sign-up will be online soon. You don't have to have a child to volunteer!

Sunday Fellowship
 Food and Fellowship go hand to
glove. Sharing a conversation and
sharing refreshments just make mixing it up in the lobby more fun! We are in need of more food, (to accommodate
a greater number of people) and a
few willing people to serve as hosts, (make/fill the coffee pots, replenish the food, etc). Do you have the gift of hospitality? You could serve the food once a month! Do you love to bake or bring cheese and crackers, fruit, bagels, trail mix, etc., or you could help provide food once a month. If you are interested, please email Sheila Stepanek or Gina Boebel. We thank all those who share their time and talents for fellowship after and between
services. Look for sign-up sheets in the lobby!

Coordinating Our Building Use
Are you needing a place at the church for a committee meeting or event? Please note that ALL scheduling of the building's use must be cleared and scheduled through Julie in the church office. This is not a "permission" issue, but we do need this central location for keeping track of the building's activities (we are thankful to be able to host a growing number of Boy and Girl Scouts this year!). Just
drop an email or phone the office (848-7213), so there are no surprises. Thank you!
