✝️A SUGGESTION FOR LENT: 40 days x 40 item
Lent is 40 days of prayer, fasting, and alms giving that begins on Ash Wednesday. This is a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. It is often observed as a time to give up something important as a sacrifice. A suggestion is sharing-by each day selecting an item donate and placing it in a bag or box, then donating them to a charity shop, homeless shelter, etc.
🌿PALM SUNDAY
Palm Sunday on April 13, will usher Holy Week leading up to Easter. This a time of celebration, remembering Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. All children are invited to wave palm branches as they marched up the aisle singing praises. It is a reminder for Christians to welcome Jesus into their hearts and to be willing to follow him.

PLEDGE CARDS
Every household in our congregation should have received the annual Stewardship campaign letter in October. As Session prepares the 2025 budget, it is obvious that costs will increase. Expenses will rise for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and everything else. This past quarter, church income has not met church expenses. Session transferred $10,000 from the Edward Jones stock account to cover those costs. It is hoped that year-end giving will help close our books in the black.
If you didn’t get the mailing you can pick up information at the back table. Cards can be mailed to the church office. They can also be placed in the offering. Alternatively, they can be dropped in the mail slot by the office doors on 300 South.
