Happenings for the week of March 10-16th

Hello! I hope everyone had a terrific Sunday. I accidentally left some things out in the posts I made last night. Please accept my humble apologies.

A reminder about the birthday celebrations for March. The monthly birthday celebration will take place this Wed., March 12th. Anyone having a birthday during the month of March is welcome to attend.

The XYZ meeting will be held this Friday, March 14th at 6:30pm in the fellowship hall. The guest speaker will be Deloris Zeigler. Ms. Zeigler will be sharing her experiences from the Kenya mission trip. A meal will be provided.

FBC Swansea will have a community-wide yard sale Sat., March 15th from 8am til 12noon to help raise funds for Clay Dixon's medical expenses. The funds already raised are a true blessing for this family, I am sure. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful little boy, and I know that those who have will never be the same! I know there is a story here that God wants us all to learn from, I hope we each take the time to listen and allow God to guide us in ways that only He can. Much luck and love to Clay and his family. God speed!

If you would like to donate items to be sold, please drop them off at the church in Swansea, March 8th from 3-6pm. All items not sold will be donated to charity. Please refer to the insert in our March newsletter for further contact information.

There will be a community-wide Easter Egg Hunt Sat., March 15th from 4-7pm on the FBC North church grounds. An afternoon of fun is in store for the whole family. An Easter egg hunt will take place for children of al ages, games and activities for the family, too! The evening will wind down with a cook-out of hamburgers, hot dogs and all the trimmings. Everyone is invited to participate in the fun, food and fellowship!

The adult choir has been working on their Easter cantata. It is entitled "In Christ Alone". The cantata is scheduled for Sunday evening, March 16th at 6pm. Come join our church family as we celebrate through song and drama, the day God's redemption plan was fulfilled. As this Easter approaches, let us remember that Jesus Lives and that we have life in Christ! Amen!

Remember: there will be NO evening services Easter Sunday, March 23rd.

I hope your week is blessing-filled. Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
