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.

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!

3DYouth Group meets TONIGHT here at 6:00 pm for life lessons from Mark followed by Bible Jeopardy 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 are NOT planning a fellowship meal at this time.

Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.  Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
