FAMILY FUN NIGHT
FAMILY FUN NIGHT IS SCHEDULED for Saturday, March 13, from 5:00 –8:00 p.m, in Fellowship Hall. We will begin with our potluck dinner with a twist. How about breakfast for dinner? Bring a favorite breakfast dish to share. (This may include fruit, pastries, or anything that says, “Good morning” to you!) We will play games appropriate for all ages, and if you have a favorite at home, feel free to bring it. Please contact Jeni Byrne with any questions. Hope to see everyone there!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
WE ARE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL volunteers to serve in the nursery at our 8:30 a.m. worship service. Our numbers are growing and we need a few more people who would enjoy spending an hour with the youngest members of our church family! If you can’t be a part of the regular schedule, we will need volunteers for the three Easter morning services and would love you to help for that one busy day! If either of these opportunities is something you can help with, please contact Jeni Byrne. Thank you!!
