LOOKING AHEAD

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

Our church has an opportunity to be a charter organization for the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in our community. The power of scout-ing is tremendous and all youth need to be exposed to the programs and ideals shared in scouting. There is a great need in our community to try to reach and rescue the youth around us. Scouting is one of the ways we can do this and also impact them through other ministries of our church. Jeff Wilder has already agreed to be the Cub Master but he is look-ing for adults to serve as Den Leaders and on the committee. He is also looking for help with volunteers who would provide a snack for the group each week. If we have 3-5 volunteers in our church who would be willing to help, our Board of Trustees will be discussing the possibility of being a charter organization for this new scout troop. Please let Pastor Collins know as soon as possible if you are interested in this exciting new ministry possibility for our church.

Today is the final day to order your Easter plant to decorate the church for the Easter season in honor / memory of someone. Please complete the order form (included in today’s bulletin) and drop in the offering plate. Paper clip your payment (cash or check) to the order

There can be no church activities in the Rodney Williams Fellowship Hall until Monday evening, March 14th. They have redone our floors and we do not want anyone walk-ing on it. Thank you for your cooperation!
