Welcome     Grow     Serve    Celebrate

Tonight:     
No Wednesday Night Re:Treat due to Spring Break.
Leadership Board will meet at 6:20 pm in the Garden Room
Wednesday, March 18: Open Mic Night
We have some very talented members and some quasi-talented ones, and we want everyone to participate. All skill levels welcome, so bring your music, poetry, storytelling, jokes, and art, and we will see you there! Contact Branden Henry for more information and/or to participate.
Reserve your place at dinner for Wednesday, March 18 by tearing off slip in bulletin and placing it in the offering box, by calling the office, or by clicking here. Please make reservations by noon on March 16.

A special Thank You to Bob Russell for making our beautiful, new offering box.  We invite you to take a closer look at it next time you are in worship. We give thanks for all the various gifts of our church family and all the ways each of you finds to serve within this place.  If you are still looking for a way to plug-in, maybe aiding in counting the offering is a role you can fill.  We require two individuals on rotation each week so that we are good stewards of all that we are given. Reach out to Joe Williams if you think this is something you feel led to do or if you can be a back-up if needed. 
Thursdays at 10:00 am during the Lenten season through March 26, join Pastor Dawn in the Garden Room of the Education Building. Each week we will take a closer look at the Gospel passage from the previous Sunday.  Hope to see you there!
Their Light Still Shines!
Our annual honor/memorial Easter candles help fund our 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, pick up a form in the foyer or church office. 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"). Deadline for reservation is Wednesday, April 1. 

We need your help! Join us in collecting plastic egg and candy donations. We have plastic eggs we will reuse from previous years, so bags of candy are also needed. You can drop off your donations in the labeled bins in the worship center or the education building. Donations due by Sunday, March 22. Contact Jennifer if you would like to assist in filling eggs with candy.
