This is just a reminder that the number of people you need to apologize to for being the most authentic version of yourself – currently stands at zero. – John Pavlovitz

We are worshipping together in our church building again! It was wonderful to see everyone who ventured out this past Sunday. There are great things planned for our worship during Lent and Easter. Next Sunday, the 6th, we will celebrate the grand opening of our Pine Valley Perk coffee house with a bit of socializing, and from what I hear, a fruitcake will be shared.
We need volunteers to prepare communion for the months of April through December. Choose your month. If you would like to prepare communion for any of these months, please let me know. We will show you how.
Please send the church office your updated directory information, including birthdays and anniversaries–even if you don’t have any changes. A few years ago we had a computer crash, lost most of our directory information.
