THOUGHT OF THE WEEK 

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace. - Frederick Buechner 

 

GLORIOUS DAY
What a glorious time it was yesterday during worship seeing everyone bring their pledges to the communion table for our Standing and Serving for Generationscapital campaign!  Baron's remarks during his message were spot on for what this campaign signifies in the life of our church and if you were unable to be present you should definitely go to the website and listen to what he had to say.  We will be reporting on the progress of the campaign in the coming days and encourage those of you who have not yet gotten your pledges in to submit them as soon as you can.

MEN'S BREAKFAST
Come join us for breakfast and fellowship tomorrow, March 18 at 7 a.m. in Fellowship Hall.
