Calendar

The Book Club is currently reading is The Adventures of Mary Darling by Pat Murphy. Lisa Lytle will facilitate. The book is highly recommended by her librarian sister. There is not a book club kit for this book, so you will have to check it out from the library or purchase it. The next discussion is on Friday, April 10 @ 1 PM. Contact the Church Office with any questions.

On Saturday, April 11, we will be hosting a taco bar and silent auction from 4:30 to 6:30 pm! Join us for good food, fellowship and a silent auction. We hope to have a good turn out and participation! Proceeds from the auction will go towards the church’s general (Operating) fund. Here is what you need to know:
—Please RSVP if you will be attending! Let the church office know if you will be attending and how many so we have a good count for food.
–We will be having a taco bar for dinner! If you are able to bring some items for the taco bar, please sign up on the Welcome Table at the church.

We hope you will join us!
