Lenten Food Challenge



Thank you so much for your very generous gifts to the Food Shelf!

We will have a total to report next week.

Easter Sunday Missional Gifts

Our Youth Group will be the recipient of any missional giving for Easter Sunday. This will be used to fund meals and activities on youth group nights. Previously, any money left over has been used in December to help purchase Christmas gifts for a local family in need.

We thank you for your support!

With the warmer weather, you may be ready to start your Spring cleaning; as you do, please start to gather items to give to the church rummage sale. You may bring in your donations during office hours or on Sunday mornings. Please place them in classroom G.

Mark your calendars for the sale-- June 20th and 21st.

If you have something that should be added to this newsletter from your group or mission, please speak with Pastor Jen or email the details to her at jenmatt20@gmail.com. The E-Grace is generally completed by noon on Thursdays, so articles need to be received by Thursday 10am at the very latest.



If you wish to connect with me directly and it is not an emergency, please know that I will respond as needed during pretty regular office hours. I am generally in the church on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from at least 10-1, call the office to be sure, as my weeks may vary. I check my emails frequently throughout the day, and this is the best way to contact me. Friday is my day off as needs allow.
