The younger adult Sunday School is finishing up the study on priorities and will be doing a short study the next few weeks on preparing our hearts for Holy Week and the celebration of Easter. We’ll begin a new study after the holiday.
Women’s Connect Salad Supper! Join us Thursday, March 29th at 6pm for discussion and fellowship where we will learn about “Dealing with Sandpaper People”. Renee Langvardt will share with us some biblical wisdom on loving one another well, even when they are unlovable, and Becca Haugaard will also be showing us how to make our own salt and sugar scrubs! Bring a salad for dinner and toothbrushes and toothpaste to help the Teen Foster Camps this summer.
