The Deacon Board has called a

Special Meeting on Sunday March 20 at 6:00 PM

before the Evening Service. The purpose of the meeting is to complete the Pastoral Search Committee by electing the Member at Large. The Deacons recommend that Robert Davies be the Member at Large. The other members of the committee include: Anna Kissinger-Deaconess; Alice Laidacker-Mission Board; Sandy Brent-Trustee; Doug Wesner-Christian Ed. Board; Jim Hawkins and Ted Hancock-Deacons & Co-Chairs. This committee will then meet in April to review and present a Senior Pastor profile and the Senior Pastor Job Description for approval by the congregation at the Spring Business Meeting on May 4, 2016. Please be in prayer for the Lord’s leading in all of these matters.

Please help us save postage by picking up your letter containing the Haiti 10 (April 16-23) Mission Trip details. There is one copy for every family. The team can always use large suitcases to transport materials they are taking with them and linen plastic bags. These items may be placed in the office.

A Ladies Friendship Tea, “Springtime in Paris”, is planned for all ladies of the church on April 23. Starting this morning in the foyer, tickets are

available and may be picked up for a $5 donation. Please consider picking up an extra ticket for a friend. Stop by the table to see how you can help or loan items for the tea.

SURGE is May 13-15

for all interested Young Adults. A deposit of $30 must be made before April 15th to lock in the cost of $179.00 for the weekend (balance is due before leaving). This event sold out last year, so there are no guarantees if spots are not reserved.

Easter flowers

may be ordered in honor or memory of a loved one. Suggested donation is $8.50. The flowers will be available to take on Resurrection Sunday after the 10:30 service. Please stop by the Information Desk or call the office by March 23rd.
