Good News for FISH
Spearheaded by the folks at Trinity Lutheran Church, the community has raised a total of $26,399 for the Pennridge FISH much needed walk in freezer! Please know that any extra funds above the $25,000 raised will go to electrical, installation, hook up and support of this project. It’s amazing what God’s people can do in a month! If you would like to contribute, just identify your gift as “FISH Freezer” and Sharon will make sure it gets to the right place. Thanks to all who participated!

First Holy Communion Instruction
If your child is in fifth or sixth grade and has not yet received First Holy Communion instruction, we are offering Zoom instruction this year. Pastor Heidi will lead two meetings on March 11 and 18 from 7:00 to 8:30pm. On Maundy Thursday, April 1, participants will be invited to receive Holy Communion for the first time. The plan is for us to gather in person for worship that evening at 7:00pm. However, plans could change due to the pandemic. Please respond to this email or contact Pastor Heidi at pastor@kellerschurch.org if you would like your child to participate.
