 Announcements

Our first shipment of Trinity Hymnals have arrived!  We now have 100 new red hymnals, enough to use in our worship services!  A special thank you to all who have contributed so far.  Donations are still gratefully accepted to complete our target number of 160.  If you see that the songs are blessing your heart, you may still order a green copy for home devotional use.  May God bless us as we strive to worship Him together in song.

A Call for Hymnal Helpers!  If you would like to help unpack, stamp, label, and distribute our new Trinity Hymnals, you could be a Hymnal Helper!  See Kathy Dole to arrange a convenient time to meet at the church office.

Sit’n’Sew, or stand’n’iron, or sort’n’suggest ideas for donation quilt-making!  Come with your talents, needles & thread!  Come with your sewing machine!  Come and make quilts for people in need, the prettiest you’ve ever seen!  Thursday, April 12^th 10:00 am - ?  We will plan to work in the Adult Sunday School room.  Feel free to bring a bag lunch and work as long as you like!

Pulpit Exchange Sunday!  Dayle Keefer, our new WNY & Penn CCCC Area Representative, has coordinated a pulpit exchange program,

in which our WNY pastors “swap” churches for a day.  Derek will be preaching at Fluvanna (Jamestown), and Todd Venman (Wiltsie Community in Russell, Penn) will be our special guest.  Be praying about this experiment, that it might strengthen bonds among our churches and be a whole lot of fun.

			The flowers at the front of the church today are in loving memory of family and friends whom have gone home to Glory.
