COMMUNITY ACTION NEEDS GROCERY COUPONS
Ellen Leake & Community Action are collecting coupons to
be distributed to needy families in our area.  After you clip
the coupons you intend to use, bring the remainder to
church and there will be a collection box in the Narthex.
BOOK LINK
Book Link is out of material!  The last
shipment was sent to Nigeria in April.  
If you have any Bibles, hymnals,
devotionals, or religious texts, please
donate them.  There is a box in the
Parlor for donations.
Our next Fellowship will be held during the Sunday
School hour on Sunday, April 12th for breakfast with
Julie Young and Nancye Brady in charge.  We will
decorate the flower cross while the children of the
church hunt eggs. Hopefully some of you will
volunteer to help them to set up on Saturday.  Also if
any of our members have any extra plastic or stainless
wear they will give to the church, we hope to keep
them in the kitchen eliminating the constant opening
up of the pantry for an odd piece or two of our good
silver.

RECYCLING
The church will be collecting and recycling aluminum
cans to raise money for kitchen funds. You can also
collect cans at home or work and drop them behind the
fence at the church. Ed Heckel has volunteered to take
any collected cans to the recycling center weekly.
SUGGESTION BOX
The Session has placed a suggestion box, wrapped in copper color, in the narthex.
Considering the need for growth in all aspects of our church, they would like to
hear any ideas/suggestions the congregation may have for fundraising, mission,
Christian education, etc., etc. They ask that the ideas/suggestions NOT be
anonymous, only because if they have questions they can refer back to that
person for discussion. It has been agreed upon that any suggestions left in the
box will be privately discussed.
