Dear Folks,
May you enjoy this lovely day, a
harbinger of Spring!
The Deacons will be setting up
for our Wednesday Lenten Service this evening (Tuesday). We
could use a couple of strong backs, so if anyone is available at 8
P.M. for about 1/2 hour, please come by the church. Thank you
in advance!
Speaking of the Lenten Service,
we are hosting tomorrow evening. Dinner is at 6 P.M., the

We will also be taking the Emergency Assistance Fund

Amen.
In Christ's love,
