Tuesday’s election will bring lots of neighbors into our church to vote. That’s why our Presbyterian Women are planning an Election Day Bake Sale for that day. If you can donate some fresh-baked goodies for the sale, please drop them off on Monday for wrapping or even on the day of the sale. Thanks for “electing” to help with this fundraiser.

Our next Agape Dinner is scheduled for Wednesday at 5:45pm. You’re invited to bring the family and enjoy a great meal featuring a baked potato bar loaded with options for toppings. If you’d like to help with the event, volunteers are always needed for set up and clean up (contact the office). We hope you’ll join us in sharing the love and enjoying another amazing monthly meal together!

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

Coming Up This Week

In addition to all our morning’s Easter music and festivities, we’ll also be celebrating the baptism of Greyson Lee Hamp. Greyson was born on August 24 to parents Christopher and Gretchen Hamp. We’ll be welcoming this little one into the family of God during our 9:45 worship service.

The annual P.W. Used Book Sale returns during April in our Family Life Center. Hardbacks are a dollar, and paperbacks are only 50 cents. The first display will be available at Wednesday’s Agape Dinner. (*Used book donations can be dropped off in the Family Life Center under the magazine table.)

Thanks to everyone involved for making it a special week!
