LENTEN OUTREACH continues in support of Comfort Cases, an organization who believes every child should have their own bag of belongings when entering foster care. Backpacks are assembled with personal care items for children entering foster care. A list of items needed is in today’s bulletin; monetary donations are also appreciated. Please see Leslie Hinkle with any questions.

EASTER FLOWER ORDER FORMS are included in today’s bulletin. The need to find a new supplier has resulted in a very quick turnaround for this year’s orders. All orders must be in no later than Sunday, March 22. Flowers purchased will be used to decorate the sanctuary on Easter morning, so please consider placing an order. See Sandy Walter with any questions.
