Bridge and youth will build Beds for Kids and our kids 4th and under will have game night.

Don't forget, time changes this Sunday!

Their Light Still Shines!

This year our annual honor/memorial Easter candles will aid us in establishing a Youth Trip Scholarship Fund to aid our youth in covering the cost of the various trips and retreats throughout the year. Money should never be the reason one of our youth cannot participate. To purchase your candle in honor or memory of a loved one click here. For each name remembered or honored, cost is $10. You can pay via check (mark "Easter Candle" in the memo), online, or via our Vanco mobile app (look for "Easter Candles"). Reservation forms are also available in the foyer of the Worship Center and in the Church Office. Deadline for reservation is Wednesday, March 27.

We enjoyed reading to classrooms of all ages for Read Across America Day at East Flora Elementary School. Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to read to the students and support this special event.

We need your help with plastic eggs and candy donations! Bring your donations and place them in the labeled bins in the foyer of either the Worship Center or the Education building.
Donations due by Wednesday, March 20.

Kids are currently practicing Palm Sunday music in Sunday School starting at 9:30 am.

Children's Sunday School begins in the Garden at 9:30 am. Ages 3 years old - 4th grade welcome. During the season of Lent, we are learning about the importance of the word "Remember," as we dive into the stories of Jesus during Holy Week leading up to Easter. We will need PreK, K and 1st Grade teachers this Sunday. To *volunteer click this link.

*All volunteers must submit a background check before volunteering with children and youth.

254 in 2024: We're trading the 601 for the 254 and heading to Waco, TX, June 22-27 to serve and learn at Mission Waco, a Christian nonprofit committed to serving our neighbors in the best ways possible. Total cost is $300 with the next $100 due April 17. You can pay via the Vanco App or by clicking here. Final $100 due May 22. The initial $100 deposit was due March 1, but see Geoff if you still want to join us or if funding is a concern; we never want money to be why someone misses out!

Adults, come serve with our youth and see how God is moving in our youth ministry! Follow this link for a list of our upcoming volunteer needs, including Engage Sunday nights, Wednesday nights, and special events.
