Dear Fourth Church,

Welcome to your warmer Wednesday!

Thanks to all for the healthy showing at the Annual Congregational Meeting this Sunday. In case you missed them, you can still download the meeting documents and view or download the Annual Report

THIS SUNDAY
Sign-ups continue in Halverson Hall and online for the Men's Retreat at Sandy Cove, March 11–13.

LOOKING AHEAD
Plans are well underway for the Annual Missions Conference coming March 25–30. One of the highlights of the year, the week will be filled with in-person and online opportunities to connect with Fourth missionaries serving in the U.S. and around the world. Stay tuned.

Grace to you,

Don Nalle

P.S. I stopped by the Collection & Food Drive this past Saturday, and it was hopping! Thanks to our youth, parents, and all who made donations to support this work to serve our community in Jesus' name.
