Wednesday Night Fellowships in April – 6:00pm

April 22 – Space and building discussion

The entire congregation is invited to hear some discussions that have been happening regarding how we use our building and possible expansion. Everyone has received a letter with details prior to this gathering and then we will have a chance to begin talking about whether this is the right time to consider adding to our facility. Pizza dinner will be provided through our Wednesday night fellowship, but we will need RSVP’s in order to make sure we have enough for everyone.

We hope you can make this gathering, especially if you have interest or concerns. ~ Clint Loveall

New Member Recognition
Everyone is invited to the New Member Reception on Sunday, April 26th in fellowship hall to honor our newest members during coffee time.

The “Garden” Conversation
We are excited about the initial conversation about starting a community garden. If you are interested in volunteering, donating or have any ideas for the steering team, please reply and let us know!

Let’s Get Together
The next P.O.E.T. (Presbyterians Out Eating Together) Fellowship Dinner will be held at The Lighthouse at 6pm on Wednesday, April 29, 2015.
