POT LUCK – Saturday, March 15

6:00 pm in the Pine room Fellowship Hall

Bring your favorite Irish or any dish, side dish, desert, or drink – or just bring yourself for good luck! Don't forget to wear your green!

All Are Welcome! Invite friends and family.

We want to extend our gratitude to everyone who came to Café Folino and Mangia! Italian Restaurant and supported us as we hosted for a Good Thyme for Life this past Monday.   It was wonderful to see old friends again and to make new ones. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for our raffle baskets and to everyone who bought tickets for the Grand Raffle. Your continued support is appreciated beyond words. We couldn’t do this without all of you! Hope to see you next year!

This year, we will be doing a special Lenten offering. Coin containers will be available in the Vestibule. Please collect your loose coins in the containers during Lent. Containers can be turned in on Palm Sunday or at Easter Vigil. The monies collected will be used to provide a meal at Opportunity House.

Lenten Devotional Books

 

We have purchased special Lenten Devotional Books for everyone titled “The Little Black Book: Six-minute meditations on the Passion”. The books are available in the vestibule during Lent.
