Are you missing any dishes??  We are cleaning the kitchen and have found several items (bowls, containers, silverware, baskets, etc.) that may be yours. These items will be on a table in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday for you to claim it if it is yours.

Congregational Care Cards are now available and have been placed in the pews. If you or someone you know from the congregation needs meals provided due to illness or surgery, or if someone needs a visit or transportation provided, please fill out the card in the pew rack, place it in the offering plate, and either an elder or Human Care Board member will take action to help out. Thank you!

Jesus said, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant…For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom” (Mark 10:43-45). Your congregation is looking for volunteers to sign up to provide and serve a Wednesday evening Lenten supper on March 4, 11, 18 or 25.Suppers are served at 6:00 pm prior to the 7:00 pm Lenten worship services. Please consider signing up your family or group of families to provide and serve a supper. As we think of Jesus, who came to serve us and to sacrifice His life for us, what a great way to serve others and to give like Christ did!
