How To Live Practically Free On Absolutely Nothing
Saturday, February 23, 1-4 p.m.

Although the workshop has a tongue-in-cheek title, it has the serious purpose of helping those who are unemployed, underpaid, or living on fixed incomes to meet the challenges of living on limited funds and still thrive. Those who are financially comfortable will also find the class very useful. Frugal living doesn't have to mean living a deprived life. It just means learning how to use wisely what God has given us, learning to look to Him with confidence for the faithful provision of our needs and for the wisdom and imagination to do all we can with what God has given us, and to set aside fear during times of financial difficulty. One of the strong features of this class is the mutual sharing of money-saving ideas by the class participants.

Leap Day Dinner & Game Night
Friday, February 29, at 6 p.m.

Participants are asked to bring a main dish, sandwiches, salad or dessert, and their favorite board games. Pizza will be provided. If your birthday is February 29, you will receive a special surprise.

Golden Age Club Meeting
Wednesday, March 12, noon to 2 p.m.

For the program, Richard Morris and his wife, Tamara, will share about the traditions of the Russian community in our area. Each hold doctorate degrees and have written books. Tamara was born in Russia and Richard lived there for many years. Both are skilled linguists. The program will follow a potluck at noon. Participants are asked to bring their favorite main dish, sandwiches, salad, or dessert. A table offering will be received for mission projects of the group.

Easter Cards & Gift Containers
Saturday, March 15, 1-4 p.m.

Using the skills of stamping, embossing, paper crafts, and fabric transfers, class members will make easter cards and gift containers in time for the Easter holiday.

Maundy Thursday Service
Thursday, March 20, 7 p.m.

This service of worship and holy communion commemorates the last supper of Lord Jesus Christ before his crucifixion at Calvary.

Good Friday Service
Friday, March 21, 7 p.m.

We will remember the crucifixion of Christ with a Tennebrae service. In this service, we recall the seven last words of Christ on the cross. The name "Tennebrae" is Latin for "darkness" or "shadows." Through diminishing light in the sanctuary, this worship services helps us recreate the betrayal, abandonment, and suffering of the events surrounding Christ's crucifixion. It is a service left unfinished because the story isn't over until Easter morning.

Easter Breakfast
Sunday, March 23, 9:00 a.m.

The Easter breakfast will include pancakes, eggs, sausage, and fruit. A free-will donation will be taken for the bus fund which covers the cost of providing transportation to the church for the elderly and those who do not have their own transportation.

Easter Festival Worship Service
With Holy Communion
Sunday, March 23, 10:30 a.m.

The Easter festival worship service begins with the singing of Easter hymns and the decorating of the barren, empty cross with flowers in celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead, as each person goes forward to add a flower to the cross. The church sanctuary, noted for its beautiful, stained glass windows featuring Easter lilies and scenes of the first Easter, along with other religious events, is a wonderful setting to reflect upon and celebrate
the glory of Easter.

Used Treasures Sale
Saturday, April 5, 9 - 3 p.m.

This sale is the combined goods of 50 households. You will find furniture, clothing, art, appliances, knick-knacks, and great-tasting baked goods for sale. A soup and bread lunch plus dessert will be served at noon. Free coffee all day long. There will also be a 50-50 raffle. The winner of the raffle will receive 50% of the raffle proceeds.
