| Fancy Brunch Fundraiser |
To support this year's Get on the Bus project to help local kids
see their Moms in prison prior to Mother's Day, we are inviting everyone in the congregation to a Fancy Bunch after church on
March 16.
We know for sure that quite a few children
would not have the chance to see either of their parents this year
because of the cost for transportation. Many of the kids are being
cared for by grandparents who do not easily have the resources to take
them on out-of-town trips.
A new part of the brunch festivities will be baskets
filled with goodies. You'll be able to choose a basket
and buy tickets on the day of the brunch that will be part of a drawing
so that you might win the basket of your choosing. If you cannot be
here on March 16, ask Shay DeWeese or Margie Bell about purchasing
tickets for the opportunity drawing. $10 for 4 tickets.

environmentally-friendly items that help conserve the earth's
resources. If earth-care interests you, please come to our next
meeting, Wednesday, March 5th at 7 pm to help prepare for this outreach
opportunity. We hope to create brochures to pass out and have direct
contact with lots of young adults. Join us. Call 665-1699 for
