Bake a Bundt for Easter
One of our Easter traditions is serving bundt cakes in the Activity Hall between services. As you can imagine, this takes a lot of cakes! If you would be willing to help by providing a bundt cake, please sign up online or email Donna Logan.
Easter Lily Memorial
Every Easter we provide the opportunity to purchase an Easter lily in memory of a loved one. These lilies will be placed in the Worship Center on Easter Sunday, April 5, and memorial names will be listed in the bulletin. The lilies will be available for you to take home after the 10:45 service that morning and cost $12. You may reserve a lily online, at the Welcome Desk, or by calling the church office by Monday, March 23.
