CAMPAIGN TO LAUNCH APRIL 12: On Sunday, April 12, we will begin participating in a capital campaign that seeks to establish an endowment for theological education in Africa, the Philippines and Europe. The campaign, How Did Jesus Call Disciples?, is a worldwide effort sponsored by the United Methodist Church that will inform people about the urgent need for the local church to assist with theological education for clergy, internationally.
EASTER LILIES: Our thanks to everyone who donated the beautiful lilies for our Easter Sunday service. There are a few lilies remaining, out in the old entrance. If you haven’t picked up yours, you may do so following Sunday's service.
