Items of Interest

Happy Thursday to each of you! Hope everyone is doing well. We have several items on the agenda that I wanted to let you know about.

To start, our children, ages 4 to 2nd grade, are working on a Spring musical entitled "I am a Promise", delivering a message of obedience. Choir practice (followed by play time) is held each Sunday in the educational building during the evening worship service. If you have a child or children who would like to participate or if you know of other children who might like to be a part of this, I am sure they are more than welcome to join. The children's choir leader always does a fabulous job with them and we are blessed to have her.

The Youth will have a St. Patrick's Day party Saturday, March 18th at 6:30pm. Youth will need to meet in the youth building. You may have this date on your calendars for Friday, but it has been changed to Saturday, so please make note of this change! You don't want to miss the fun!!

The Youth will also be holding a spaghetti dinner/talent show following the morning worship service Sunday, March 19th. If you wish to participate in the talent show, please sign up in the vestibule. You might even be able to contact the church office and have them add you before Sunday. The judging of the talents will be done by our youth. Come on out and join us for a fun time of food and fellowship!

I have also been informed that the gym will be open this Saturday for the children from 2-5pm. Will be a good time of fellowship for the children and I know they will have as much fun as they always do!!
The children are doing to the zoo and Finlay park Saturday, March 25th. More info to come regarding this event.

Tis the time of year for our Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions. Our national goal is $56million. Our personal church goal is $3,500.00. The theme for this year is "Tell His Story". Please contribute to this wonderful mission so that His story can reach many who need to hear about Christ!

Spring is in the air and gardening will soon be starting. Don't forget about Gardening sessions the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. Sessions begin at 2pm in the fellowship hall. All sessions are free and open to the public!

Also, First Place began Monday, March 6th. This program is designed to help you get fit not only physically but spiritually. The fee for this program is $33 if you have no materials from a previous course. If you do have the materials, then the fee is $20.00. Weigh-in begins at 6:30 and the session begins at 7pm. Come out and be a part of something that promises to enrich your life!

Men, remember Prayer Garden each Friday at 7am. Prayer time is held either in the prayer garden or in the church (depending on the weather). Come join your brothers-in-Christ for a time of prayer and brotherly fellowship.

As always, take care and God bless! My love to each of you! :-)
