\u2020\u00a0SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERING\u00a0 <\/b>The offering from both Adult Bible Class and Sunday School for the spring quarter will be going to Ronald McDonald House.\u00a0 We are hoping to get enough money to purchase a couple of their \u201cDream BIG items\u201d.\u00a0 This could include two high chairs and a hedge trimmer.\u00a0 It would take around $300 to purchase these items.\u00a0 That seems like a reasonable goal for the quarter and what a great way to help out this great organization.<\/p>\n
