The Book to Know group will meet Apr 27 at Shirley Tice’s  home to discuss “Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe” by Max  Lucado.  Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.

If you have a special occasion to celebrate or just want to offer, we need members to sign up on the altar flower chart that is located on the bulletin board in the narthex.

Easter Breakfast- plan to attend our very special Easter breakfast immediately following the Sunrise Service.  Our menu is scrambled eggs, ham, sausage, fruit and assorted breakfast sweets.  We will be serving until 9:30 for those who will be attending the second service.  The free will offering will be designated for our LWML women attending their convention in Albuquerque this summer. See you at breakfast!!!

Flowers for Spring! Just a reminder – please pick up a flower order blank from the table in the Narthex. If you have questions – check with Tanny Latuska. The funds from these purchases will help with mission expenses and attendance for the women attending the National convention in New Mexico.
