Quack! Quack! Due to rain, we are rescheduling the Grace In Action Workday at the Loving Christian Maternity Home. Most of the work we were going to do today was outside at the Maternity Home. We’ll let you know as soon as we schedule a new date. Thank You, Lord, for the rain!

Next Saturday, April 17, we as a church family have an opportunity to lend a helping hand at the Loving Christian Maternity Home, 4011 Seymour Highway. There is something for everyone to do as we haul off debris, paint, and perform yard work and light repairs. We also need others to bring food to the workers. Sign up in the Main Hall, contact Leah Walker, or just show up! 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM.

This Sunday, April 11, we will hear from Anna Lerew and Ryan Klein as they prepare for international missionary work this summer. You will have the opportunity to visit with them in the Main Hall and offer your support.

The following weekend, April 23-25, is our annual Men’s Retreat to Quartz Mountain Lodge. Sign up ASAP (by Tuesday, 4/20) if you plan to attend.
