 Announcements
You still have time to donate to the Dorothy Steff Hymnal Fund!  Deadline for first order of new Trinity Hymnals is Sunday, March 25.  We will be placing the first order soon after, for half of what we need to supply all the pews in the sanctuary!  Donations for a 2nd major purchase will still be accepted after that date.  Thank you to all who have contributed so far!

The Dewey Missionary Ladies are constructing Hygiene Kits for overnight visitors at the Cornerstone Manor.  If you want to give any small shampoos, conditioners, lipsticks, deodorants, or travel toothpastes/toothbrushes, you may donate them to this group.  Thank you for your generosity!

The Church’s financial statements for January and February 2012 are posted for review in the office over the copy machine.

Thursday, April 12th
Save the date and come help!   Our Sit-n-Sew Day was very productive, with the making of one and a half tops for lap quilts. Thank you, ladies!  We also found 5 twin-sized quilt tops all pieced and ready to pin and quilt!  Our next session will be held on Thursday, April 12 at 10 AM.  Save the date and come help, as we iron, cut fabric, sew, and pin layers of quilts together.  We hope to donate the quilts to local nursing homes, City Mission, Cornerstone Manor, and organizations within the North Collins area.
