Mike will be needing a bit more help with the Easter Breakfast – MEN — REAL MEN are needed to prepare, cook and serve said meal of celebration and calories. It will be fun.

There are still times available for the Watch Night Vigil — Thursday 8pm – Friday 3pm – a sign-up sheet will be in the Fellowship Hall.

We will celebrate Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem (Luke 19:28-40) and move into the Passion with a dramatic reading of Matthew 26-27. There will be church school for kids in 2nd grade or younger.

As we move slowly be steadily toward spring (difficult to imagine stping will ever arrive with temperatures at 10 below and 3 feet of snow on the ground), it’s almost time to assemble the Easter Newsletter. In fact, EASTER is just three weeks from today, March 23rd. (Interesting facts forwarded to us by Larry and Connie Simino: The earliest Easter can ever occur is March 22nd and the next time Easter fall on March 23rd will be 220 years from now in the year 2228.) So … don’t wait around for the next time Easter falls on March 23rd… this is literally a once-in-a-many-lifetime opportunity! Our hope is to have the spring newsletter in your hands before Palm Sunday, which gives us very little time to gather the needed materials together. If you are responsible for a committee report (or would like to be) please have you newsletter information to Mike via e-mail, snail mail, direct delivery (i.e. desk drop) or pony express PLEASE by the end of this coming week.
