Announcements for 3-31-24
~This morning our 2nd Grade Class will recite the Apostle’s Creed. Next week, our 1st Grade Class will recite the Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Parents: please have your children to their classroom by 9:15 AM. When they are finished, the children will join their families for the remainder of worship. Thank you!
~Bible Reading Plan: You can grab a bible reading bookmark from the Welcome Center or sign up at the Welcome Center for a daily text with the scripture reading for the day!
Join us on April 27 at 9am for our Spring Womens’ Ministry Event. Shelly Meester will share a message on “Remembering the Character of God’s Heart in a Broken World”. There will be light refreshments and a sweet time of fellowship.
Please check the lost and found area on the south side of the coat rack behind the welcome center. There have been a lot of items left from church and there are still a few pans left from the RCYF soup supper. If not claimed in the next couple weeks we will donate. Thanks
