Church DirectoryIt’s Coming Soon!!   NEW PHOTO DIRECTORY
We are very excited to have a new photo directory in the works! 
Whether you are a member of the congregation or attend occasionally
we consider you one of the family and would love to have you in our
directory.  As one of the newest arrivals I (Pastor Marcia) know just
how valuable a photo directory is for those who are new to our
congregation.  Photographer Tanya Flemister has agreed to take the
pictures and design the directory, which we hope to have available for
our 125th Anniversary.   PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY at the table in
Memorial Hall or call and talk with Marilyn with your calendar in hand. 
The dates available are April 8th, 9th, 10th and 16th.

Coffee Hour Special Report and Lunch
Our April Special Coffee Hour has become a lunch!
Join us following the service on April 10th.  Our youth will give a
brief report on their spring break ministry at the Denver Rescue Mission. 
Leonard and Lila will follow with a report on their ministry helping
with Hurricane Ike Recovery in Texas City, Texas. 
We hope to have a slideshow as well as lots of stories to give
us perspective on the sustained help provided by
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). 
One third of our gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing go to
PDA’s work around the world.

   ADMITTANCE:  ITEMS FOR OUR CARE PACKAGES
FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL AND STUDENTS!

___________________________________________________________________

Care Packages for Military & Students
The Deacons are collecting items to send in care packages
for our military members serving overseas and college students
for finals week.  We need your help with donating assorted items
to include in these packages. A few ideas are snack foods,
beef jerky, popcorn, nuts, granola bars, ramen noodles, chewing gum,
ink pens.  There is a much more detailed list that will be posted
in the church office window, and with the red bin in memorial hall
to place your items in. We hope to have enough items collected
by our April 12th meeting to assemble the packages
and get them on their way.

Thank you so much for your generous donation,
and showing your support for those serving in the military
and the college students as they prepare for their final exams.
There will be some note cards with the red bin in memorial hall
that you can write a personal message to include in
one of the packages if you would like
