WHAT'S HAPPENING As Of March 11 2009:

SPECIAL APPEAL FROM OUR FOOD BANK: Yesterday, we had 65 people visit. The usual number is 35-40, so this large number was unexpected. We scrambled to gather enough food for everyone. Consequently the cupboards are empty, empty! The next Food Bank is April 14th. Your gifts of food and finances are much needed, please!

LENTEN STUDY—SPIRITUALITY TOOL KIT: Thursdays @ 2:30 In the Church Sanctuary. 4 more sessions: March 12, March 19, March 26th & April 2

WORKSHOP—’GOD’S MISSION FOR US’: Dr. Richard Leggett (from VST). Fri, April 24th: 6:30—9:00 / Sat, April 25: 9:30—4:30 at St. John’s, Fruitvale. Cost is a bargain for such a distinguished presenter---$25 Early Bird by April 12, or $30 after that. Please register early! For more information contact Douglas or Elizabeth Lewis at 367-0145 or email douglas_lewis@telus.net.

A REQUEST FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL: The Sunday school would be very grateful if anyone who has a board left over from taking an advent wreath home would return it to church please. They will need the boards for next Advent.
