Week of Directed Prayer

Help with Child Care?

Just in case our regular “Nursery Lady,” Jane Benson, cannot be here at some time, we’d like to create a list of people who’d be willing to serve in the nursery during worship. Please see Norris Hinds or Pastor Jeanne if you’re willing.

 

Helping Hands for Haiti

Chapel On The Lake, in Marblehead, will sponsor a fundraiser for Haiti at Harbor Lanes Bowling Alley on Saturday, March 6, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. (Bowling is $2 per person and bowling shoes $2.) The evening will include raffle items, a 50/50 drawing, face painting, balloons, and D.J. entertainment. The money collected will be sent to Kids Against Hunger, a Minnesota-based organization that has been working in Haiti for many years.

WCWA

The WCWA will be meeting on Monday, March 8, at 5:30 PM. Tina and Rebecca will be available with snacks, drinks, and the answers to all your coffee questions: “What is a Latte?...How do they make Expresso?...What do they mean by added flavors?...What is Chai tea?” Call Lori Madison with Questions.

Palm Sunday Brunch

This year the deacons are planning a brunch after service on March 28. This will save the rush on Easter Sunday between services. Please sign up to bring a breakfast casserole, fruit, or baked goods.

One Great Hour

We will be learning over the next few Sundays those who have been assisted through OGHS. On Palm and Easter Sundays, we will be accepting your response to Jesus’ question, “do you love me?” Please prayerfully consider giving generously to this offering.

“Herding Cats”

If you are a leader in the church or in your professional life, you may be interested in this “family systems” workshop, to be held at First Presbyterian, Findlay, on Saturday, May 1, from 9:00 to 3:30. See Pastor Jeanne for more information.
