March Announcements 2024

LENTEN WORSHIP SERVICES will be held at 7:00 PM on Wednesday evenings in the Fellowship Hall. This year we will be using a DVD series titled “Remembering the Forgotten God.” This series offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives.

MARCH MISSION COLLECTION: The Food Pantry in Zearing has been very busy helping many in our communities with food and other essentials. We are currently spending our limited funds buying groceries. We need your help and support to be able to furnish things that are not food, but are still needed. We would appreciate it if you could donate things like bar soap, shampoo, toilet paper, Kleenex. They will go to the Zearing Food Pantry to help the residents of Zearing, McCallsburg, St. Anthony and Clemons.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO LEARN TO RUN OUR SOUND/VIDEO SYSTEM. If God has gifted you with a skill for technology, please talk to Mark Thomas or Brad Becker to see how you can help. Brad has offered to teach a class to anyone interested in learning.

OUR CHURCH BUILDING WILL REQUIRE TUCKPOINTING in the near future and the Trustees are inviting everyone to contribute to a fund that will pay for this essential project. Simply mark your donation “Tuckpointing”—we appreciate whatever you can do.
