SPECIAL EDITION

It's time to gear up for the big event! This special edition of the newsletter is coming out early this week so you can be ready for all the weekend - and beyond - have to offer.

Did you think I was talking about Holy Week? Oh no! I'm talking about the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament!

There are many who think that the NCAA Basketball Tournament is a holiday season, but I am here to tell you it is not. But that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it! All are invited to fill out a bracket - whether you've done it one time or 1,000 times - and join the Fellowship group! Bragging rights are on the line! Whether you keep up with the teams, pick based on color of their uniforms, or which mascot would win in a fight, click here to fill out a bracket or two and get ready to watch! Please note: the brackets need to be submitted before the first game tips off on Thursday morning! More details are below.

This Sunday, we mark the start of our final ascent to the cross with our Palm Sunday worship service at 10am. All are invited to participate in the Palm Parade during the opening hymn - no experience needed!

This Lenten journey has felt both long and short at the same time: our Fellowship Family has - both individually and collectively - faced trials during this time that have challenged our faith. So let us, together, shout "Hallelujah!" on Sunday before we look to the cross and the tomb.

I look forward to seeing you at worship - either in-person or online - on Sunday!

With love and gratitude,

Pastor Kathryn

I Can Help on Good Friday!

Good Friday Help Needed!

Fellowship and Guilford Park Presbyterian Churches are celebrating Holy Week together! Maundy Thursday will be hosted by FPC with Rev. Stephen Fearing preaching. Guilford Park will host on Good Friday with Pastor Kathryn preaching - both services start at 6pm.

Good Friday provides an option for participants to travel through the Stations of Peter as a worshipful experience anytime between Noon and 5:45pm. The activity is in need of support: SIX people from each church are being sought to work, in shifts, throughout that time. If you are able to commit 90 minutes to supporting this event, please click the button. Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Mission Ministry Team Highlights

Immigrant Holiday Meals

The ministry team is also making plans for the 10 holiday meals that our Fellowship Family provides to new families in our community. The Easter Immigrant Meals will be packed and delivered on Sunday March 24. If you would like to help with packing and deliveries, please let us know asap. You can also donate money for supplies to be purchased. We will be doing our shopping on Thursday March 21. If you are able to assist with this endeavor, please contact Mimi Carter or Judy Meyler.

Support Backpack Beginnings

Wondering what to do with all of those grocery shopping bags? The Missions Ministry Team collects “gently used” plastic grocery bags for Backpack Beginnings. Please bring any you don’t use to church with you, leaving them in the marked box in the Dogwood Lobby closest to the double doors leading towards the classrooms.

Stewardship & Personnel Ministry Team Highlights

Office Volunteers Needed!

The church building is bustling these days with outside groups utilizing the wonderful facility we have. With all of the ins and outs that take place, an extra person would be helpful to assist with answering the phone or questions our visitors may have. If you are able to help on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday, please click the button below.

I can help in the office!
