Please welcome Roger English who is our new Custodian for the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall.
Although we’re still a little over a week away from the official first day of Spring, the 70-degree weather this week has certainly given us a sneak preview of the warmer, pollen-filled days in the not too distant future.

Following our Wednesday Night Supper March 23rd Jaye Masters will be lead-
ing us in a Painting the Psalms workshop. Painting the Psalms is for everyone,
those with no artistic leanings and those seasoned artists in our midst. We will
be using acrylic paint, our hands, and the meditation of our hearts. We gather
together and reflect on the Psalms in a way that intertwines the creative arts
and the beauty of poetry.
If you are interested in participating, please rsvp to Church office by March
16th.
