Announcements
March-April is a time of heavy expenses.  Please pray for our continued financial stability and consider extra ways you might help during these challenging months.

3DYouth Group meets here TONIGHT at 6:00 pm for life lessons from Mark followed by Apples to Apples and refreshments.

Next Sunday we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper.  If you would like to participate but are unable to be here, see Derek or one of the Elders to arrange another time.  Don’t be shy about taking full advantage of this important gesture of unity with Christ and his body.  We WILL share a fellowship meal together following the service.  Bring a dish to pass!

If you haven’t made summer vacation plans yet, you may want to consider Providence, Rhode Island, host to the 66th Annual CCCC Family Conference (July 21st-24th).  This year’s theme is “For Every Generation”.  Check out the back table for more information on seminars, accommodations, and registration.  See you in Providence!

During the spring exam season, the North Collins High School will be using our building for extra testing space from time to time.  The first group meets next week.  Thank you for your understanding as we try to be good neighbors (and good lights) to our friends across the street.

Put your sewing needles down for a bit … there will be no Sit’n’Sew in April due to scheduling conflicts!  Stitch away picks up again in May!
