LENT IN THE LIVING ROOM

The "Lent in the Living Room" series will begin the week of February 22, the week following the first Sunday of Trey's sermon series that will correspond with the book, The Hole in Our Gospel by Rich Stearns. Each week, small groups will meet and discuss the corresponding section of the book.

PALM SUNDAY PROCESSIONAL
March 28

On Palm Sunday the children of the church have a chance to participate in a palm processional. They will wave palm leaves to represent the palm leaves that were waved and laid on the ground for Jesus as he made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem days before he was Crucified.

If you are interested in having your child carry Palm leaves in the processional at the beginning of the worship service on that day, please have them meet outside the church 10 minutes prior to the start of our 11:00 worship service.

 Mission Saturday

Everyone is invited to participate in the “Mission Saturday” project on 3/13, 8:00 am. We will be moving the sea container from behind Stasney’s ofc. to behind Allen House. Please meet at the sea container where we will unload it and put all items on a flatbed trailer. Then the empty sea container will be put on another flatbed trailer and moved to Allen House. While sea container is being moved, we will sort through items and organize, and hopefully determine we can part with some of our treasures. Then sea container can be re-loaded. There are also things that need to be moved out of Allen House so that “like things” (Bazaar, Christmas program sets/costumes, Sunday School stuff) can all be grouped together and stored in their designated locations. Another project: If we still have all of our choir robes…a rod needs to be installed in the closet of Sandy’s office on which to hang them.
