Everyone is invited to stop by, grab some breakfast, and help celebrate this special lady! Betty requests no presents but loves to read- so why not shower her with birthday cards?!

Crew Car Wash Ticket Fundraiser

As in years past, John Knox will be selling Crew Car Wash tickets.  This year it will be the entire month of April. Tickets are for the regular car wash and will be sold for $10. They are good at any Crew Car Wash and never expire, so having a clean car, benefits John Knox! For each ticket sold, we receive a profit of $4.50. Tickets will be available at a table outside the Library each Sunday in April. 
 

​Mother's Day Donations 

Mother's Day donations to Coburn Place - Are you looking for a way to honor your Mother, Grandmother, or special female mentor on this special day? How about donating new, unworn nightgowns, pajamas, robes, and slippers to the needy residents of Coburn Place? These ladies really appreciate receiving these items. It gives them hope and reminds them that there are people who really care about them. The collection box will be placed in the hallway near the Sanctuary doors starting April 16th, 2023, and donations will be accepted through Mother's Day, May 14th, 2023. Thank you, The Mission Team

Wednesday Morning Fellowship

Are you interested in a time of fellowship? This group would meet every other week on Wednesday mornings, beginning May 3 - 10:00 am – 12:00 pm for fellowship with the possibility of enjoying a meal together.  Our focus would be primarily on fellowship but could also include a reading or lesson focus.  Location suggestions are welcome as long as we can gather together as a group & listen comfortably in the space.  Wednesday meetings would start in May on a trial basis. If you’re interested let either Pastor know.

Please Protect Your Neighbor 

As we monitor the Covid virus, we see an increase in cases in our area and flu and RSV. Just a reminder that if you are not feeling well, even if you think it is something as simple as a cold, PLEASE STAY HOME and worship via Facebook. As usual, masks and hand sanitizer are available in several locations at the church. Let's keep everyone safe and healthy.
