Crafts will be provided for the children by Susie Belknap.

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? Several groups in the church are accepting the group challenge to get everyone to read The Purpose Driven Life. If your group has 10 or more members in it like the Deacons or Session, you will be rewarded if you can get 75% of your members to complete the task. The deadline for getting it read is April 17.

There will be no class on Easter Sunday, March 27. Many of you have begun reading it and this is your chance to share it with others. Please read the material ahead of time up to Purpose #1. Please let Sandy Powell know if you are interested in joining this class or sign up on the list in the office.
