Senior Youth Group will be starting their annual Reppert’s Easter candy sale today.  Youth will be in the Gathering Room each Sunday until March 15th after both Worship Services and after Sunday School.  We offer a large variety of candy for order, including pound boxes, molded chocolate figures, and sugar-free candy.  Don’t be disappointed, order your candy today.  Candy will be ready for pick-up on Palm Sunday, April 5th in the Christian Education Resource Room across from the church office from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM .  Payment is required at time of ordering.  All proceeds benefit the nurturing and education of our youth in grades 6-12
DO YOU LIKE TO GARDEN? The large garden outside the Pastor’s window need two volunteers to care for it.  Jeannie Angstadt has lovingly cared for it for several years but because of a work schedule change will not be able to continue. The garden is fully planted and mostly needs weed eradication.  It is shady in the afternoon through the evening.  There is a water supply close by the plot.  There is also a plot in the parking lot that needs a caretaker.  It also mostly needs weed control.  Out volunteer gardeners work on their own schedules and pay for their own plants and supplies.  At times other volunteers donate supplies for us to use.  They also get many plant donations. We have a great group of garden angels.  Won’t you join the team?  Please call Harriet at 610.689.5100
