Church News

March Operation Christmas Child – Gifts of Hope to Wear
During the month of March, we will be collecting small clothing items for our shoeboxes. Some suggestions are socks, underwear (new, in original packaging) tights or leggings, lightweight t-shirts, thin flip-flops, foldable rain poncho, beanie or knit cap, cotton gloves, bandana, or thin scarf. Please pack items for a specific age group (2-4, 5-9, or 10-14). Small clothing items are a wonderful way bless a child while still leaving room for toys and other gifts.

The STARS will be going to the Easter Jubilee at the Rudy Theatre March 24. The cost is $30 per person. If interested, you are asked to sign up and pay by Sunday, March 15. There is one ticket left. We will start a waiting list and if someone who has signed up cannot go, people will be pulled from the waiting list.

Senior Adult Event

The senior adults can get all “duddied up” in their straw hats and jeans for some good ole “down home country vittles!” This event will be held at Charity Mission Center April 14 at 11 am. The Reverand Jeffrey Barber will be the guest speaker. The menu will consist of chicken, BBQ, sweet tea & lemonade with sides. Please sign up on the sheet in the foyer by March 29 if interested.

Vacation Bible School
It’s hard to believe but we are already making plans for our Vacation Bible School which is June 22-25. Please be in prayer about where God may want you to serve this year. A sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board. When you sign up, please list your t-shirt size as well.
