Maundy Thursday
Be still my soul
And know that love is near.
When Christ sat at the table
With His friends
He broke the bread and gave His body,
He poured the wine and gave His blood. Oh, soul can't you see
It was all done for thee.
Please join us Thursday, March 20th at 7:00 p.m. for a special Maundy
Thursday communion.

PROPERTY
|
The property committee is planning a
workday for Saturday, April 5, after the men's breakfast, to work on the
lawn and sprinkler system. You are invited to stay and help them.
Sign-Up to Help
It's that time again! Time to think about mowing the grass and
keeping the weeds pulled. There is a sign-up sheet for MOWING and one for
ADOPTING PROPERTY in the entryway. Please consider helping with some of
the outside work. It takes all of us to keep the church property looking
nice.

Parking Lot
|
Good News!
You may have noticed the cracks in the parking lot. Well, so had
our property committee. In fact, the property committee, led by Jim
Holmes, has been anxious to get the final two inches of asphalt that was
needed on the parking lot put on there before we had bigger problems.
Jim got three bids for the project, and the Board has approved
the bid from Holland Paving, which was approximately $31,000. Jim will work
with Holland and you who use the facility when the schedule is known.
We have the money to pay for it! Praise God! The Trustees
released over $5,000 of the Non-designated Funds, and the Board has
earmarked other funds to be used for the payment of this parking lot
project. We won't have to borrow at all to pay for this or have a
fund-raising campaign.
Thank you for your faithfulness in giving and for the stewardship
of the Board and committees that made this possible.
Now, when you are inconvenienced during this project, no
grumbling please, just remember how blessed we are to be able to afford to
take care of the parking lot!

BLOSSOMING OF THE CROSS
Easter Sunday at the 10:40 a.m. worship service we will again
participate in the blossoming of the cross. There is a hymn titled, "The
Old Rugged Cross". So it was when Jesus was crucified on it on a hill
called Calvary outside of Jerusalem. Christ died for our sins, the
righteous for the unrighteous. But, thank God, Jesus was raised from the
dead! By placing flowers on the cross we celebrate the victory of Christ's
resurrection. The pain of crucifixion, the bleakness of the tomb and the
darkness of death are put in perspective because, praise God, our Savior
lives!
Easter is early this year and there may not be many flowers
blooming in our flower beds, but if you have some, you are encouraged to
bring them Sunday morning to be placed on the cross. These, along with
some purchased from the local flower shop, will be part of our celebrating
Christ's resurrection during worship.

THANK YOU

Dear members of the Board,
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me
the experience of a lifetime! The National Youth Ministry Conference which
I recently attended was truly phenomenal. I greatly appreciate your
support-financially and otherwise in making this possible. I learned so
much, met so many wonderful people and got spiritually fed and nurtured in
so many ways.
Thank you for sending me to this event. It was a wonderful
experience!
