Palm Sunday Breakfast / Committee Fair
Teams of church members are well on the way with plans for the Palm Sunday Breakfast and Committee Fair. Read on to see how you can participate and for details of the morning.
Breakfast will be served sometime after 9 AM – the exact time (or times) is still being determined. We’re planning right now on a buffet style breakfast, with various egg and potato dishes as well as sweet rolls. The breakfast will be in Fellowship Hall. If you are planning to attend, you MUST sign up by March 14th so we can have sufficient food on hand and so that there will be a place for everyone to sit.
The breakfast is not a budgeted item in our church’s financial plan. We need donations of food we can serve everyone. If you would like to donate food or cash (and we hope you can), please bring the items to the church by Wednesday, March 24. A listing will be in the Sunday bulletin and in the Communications Center of items that are needed.
During the breakfast, groups will be presenting information about their group. The idea is to afford everyone in the congregation the opportunity to understand the scope of the work of our church. The hope is that you will be called by the Spirit to join with one (or more) of the groups to help us achieve our mission as a church: “Faith Witnessed, Faith Celebrated, Faith to embrace the future so that all may be whole and fully alive in Christ.” Besides the short presentations, each group will have a space in the church where you can go and get additional information about that group’s work and purpose.
At 11 AM, our Sunday worship service will begin in the Sanctuary. In the time normally reserved for the sermon, the Senior Choir will be presenting a cantata called “Amazing Love”, a story of the events of Holy Week leading up to Good Friday.
If you have questions, please see Steve Sturgis, Mike Wills, or Beth Forry.
In order to make the Breakfast and Fair a success, these things need your help:
1. Read the weekly church bulletin to stay abreast on the plans for the morning
2. Sign up to attend breakfast
3. Donate food or cash to the event
4. Come prepared on Palm Sunday morning to hear about the work of the church and to consider new ways of being involved so we can carry out our church’s mission.

We will observe the beginning of Lent, Ash Wednesday, February 17, 6:15-7:30 p.m., in Fellowship Hall. This is a potluck affair but we need to know ho many will attend because of the logistics involved in the Agape Dinner, which recalls the meals Jesus shared with people during his ministry. Following the dinner Tom McKinnon will begin a 5-week series, which will continue on Sunday evenings, 5:30-7:00 p.m., ending on March 14. Please bring your own place settings, utensils, and mugs. (We do have paper plates, etc. if you forget). Sign-up sheets are in the Communication Center and Fellowship Hall. Childcare provided.
