† TINY TOT SUNDAY SCHOOL is being offered the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month in the nursery classroom by Doug and Peggy S.  It is a 15 minute class to get the little ones used to coming to Sunday School. 

† EASTER EGGS  We will be filling plastic eggs for the Sunday School Children.  Christian Education is asking the congregation for donations of rolls of nickels/dimes, small prizes, or bags of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs.  Your donations can be placed in the container provided in the church office.  Thanks for your help with this project!

† EASTER LILIES  If you would like to purchase one or more Easter Lilies to help beautify the sanctuary on Easter, please use the sign up sheet in the narthex. They will be $8.00 each.  Please make checks to Diana Endicott.  Of course, any lilies you purchase are yours to take home after Easter Sunday.

† 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.
