† SUNDAY SCHOOL will start to split into two groups after Easter.  We will have     a group for the older students, 3^rd grade and above, and a group for those younger than 3^rd grade.  We would love to offer a High School class as well for those interested.  Hope to see you at Sunday School!

† PORTALS OF PRAYER  The new Portals of Prayer for the spring are on the table by the nursery in the narthex.

† PEW SPACING  We have removed the every-other pew restriction from the pews in the front half of the sanctuary.  When attendance is higher and if       spacing is not a priority for you, consider moving to the front to leave more    room for others in the back.
