The
Upper Room
On Jesus' last night he chose to be with his disciples
in an upper room where he could be alone with the twelve. In that secluded
spot Jesus took bread, broke it and said, "This is my body broken for you;"
he took the wine and said, "This is my blood shed for you; do this in
remembrance of me."
On Maundy Thursday we too will remember Christ and his sacrifice for
all mankind. We break bread and drink the wine in remembrance of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. This special communion service will be on
Thursday, March 20th at 7:00 p.m.

CHURCH GROWTH
This coming Saturday, March 8th is Family Night. We are
going to have a Potato Bar for our meal instead of the usual soup and
sandwiches. We will buy the potatoes and the families coming will bring
the toppings.
If you were not at church last Sunday and you are coming this
Saturday, please call Lenora at 524-4053 and let her know so more potatoes
can be bought.
Cookies for a Cause
The Cookies for a Cause for March is food for the pantry at the
Haysville Community Outreach which is housed at the West Haysville Baptist
Church. This outreach program is for all families who live in the
Haysville School District. They are open from 9 to 12 on Monday thru
Friday. They are busy every day helping families that need help with
food.
The foods needed are peanut butter, canned fruit and hot and cold
cereal and any other food that you feel you would like to give. These
items will be collected all month and may be placed in the basket in the
front hall. Thanks for all your help.
Easter Fun Day
Saturday 22nd 10:00 - 12:00
We have a fun day planned for the children of the church and their
friends and neighbors. We will have crafts, egg hunt and lunch. Please
sign the clipboard at the back of the sanctuary so we will know how many to
expect. If you have middle or high school youth who want to come, they can
hide the eggs for us and help their siblings in the craft room. Remember,
we need a total count for lunch. We also need 4 dozen plain white cupcakes
for the children to decorate.
If you are able to donate individually wrapped candy or pennies,
nickels, or dimes to put in the eggs for the egg hunt, please give them to
Lenora or bring them to the church office before Monday the 17th so the
ladies can put them together for Saturday the 22nd.
We also need 1 gallon milk jugs for a craft activity.
