Looking for ways to SPICE UP your Spring ?

A meal has more flavor when you can cook with spices, vinegar and oil so we're asking for donations to help SPICE UP the Blessings Box. Spices are a frequently requested, but rarely donated item. You can place items directly into the Blessings Box or bring the church during Little Easter events or office hours.

Please no glass, homemade, open or expired items. Dollar stores are a great source for inexpensive spices.

MARCH 2021 CHEER CIRCLE UPDATE

The March Cheer Circle meeting was a great success as we started working towards our missions and helping the church again. The Cheer Circle will sponsor an "Easter Brunch Bag" to be available after the 9am courtyard Easter Service. Each bag will have a baked item, fruit and fruit juice. Water and coffee will also be available. We welcome you to stay and enjoy some fellowship and food. Brink a blanket and have a picnic. Halleluiah!
