Please keep the FOCUS teens and sponsors in your prayers as they prepare for their Mexico missions trip. They’re taking off Sunday, March 23rd and will be gone the whole week. Pray for their preparation, safe trip and witness to those in Mexico as they build a house for a well-deserving family.

Easter Egg Hunt News

Thank you to all the individuals who responded at Sunday’s Congregational meeting as volunteers for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Please be so kind as to complete the signup sheet that will be in this Sunday’s church bulletin, and drop it in the basket in the church foyer. Thank you to Tammy Hott for volunteering to co-chair this event.

For health and safety reasons we will be using ONLY plastic eggs filled with individually store-packaged candy. We welcome you to donate plastic eggs that are filled, bags of individually wrapped small candy, and plastic eggs. Pre-packaged filled eggs are available at stores such as Costco or WalMart.  We also will need cookies, individuals to man our game booths, an Easter Bunny (person to get inside the suit), and lots of help to set up and clean up. Please complete the  sign up sheet that will be available in this Sunday’s church bulletin. A collection bin for candy and plastic eggs will be available in the church foyer this Sunday, through Sunday, March 16th.
