IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week let’s remember to acknowledge and thank God for all of our blessings, for our prayers that have been answered and for His continued providence in taking care of us. We also pray for all who are in need of our prayers, for those who are recovering from surgery and illness, for our members in cancer treatment, for our shut-in and inactive members, and as always at least two people in your life who do not know Christ.
BEFORE LEAVING the sanctuary, please find one person whom you don’t know or don’t know very well, introduce yourself and have a brief chat with them.
HOLY WEEK WORSHIP SERVICES – Our Maundy Thursday and Good Friday worship services will begin at 7:00 p.m. Please take advantage of this opportunity to worship with us during these last two Lenten services! The Sacrament of The Lord’s Supper will be observed on Maundy Thursday. We will offer two services again this year on Easter Sunday. The sunrise service will begin at 7:00 and the late service will begin at the usual time of 9:30.
LADIES AID will meet for a Business meeting on April 5th after the Maundy Thursday service; Darlene Schrag is hostess. Mildred Siekmann is on Altar Guild for April and Phyllis Knittel is Visiting Helper.
CONFIRMATION AND WEEKDAY SCHOOL classes will not be held on April 4th; May 2nd will be the last day of both classes. Parents: if you have not signed up to bring snacks for a while, now is an excellent time to sign up – the volunteer list is looking sparse!
CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM – Whoever borrowed the VHS tape recording of the Children’s Program this last Christmas, would you please return it to the church? Thanks!
EASTER LILY REMINDER – For those of you who are planning to purchase an Easter lily for our altar on Easter Sunday and would like the person’s name in the bulletin for whom the flowers are given in memory of, please let us know as soon as possible but not later than noon on Maundy Thursday (April 5th). You may bring your plants to the kitchen after lunch on Saturday (April 7th) and you may take them home after the Sunday worship services if you wish. Thanks!
LAWN MOWING BIDS – Spring is here and it is time to find someone to mow our church property. If you are interested in submitting a bid, please contact one of our trustees (Craig, Morgan or Darren) for details. We need to receive your written bid on or before April 18th. Thanks!
