NOTICES
Snow Days
Please note, if it has snowed on Saturday night into Sunday or it’s snowing on Sunday morning, there will be no 8am service. The same is true with ice precipitation. Please join us instead at the 10am service. The Vestry is very concerned with the safety of our parishioners and clergy. Thank you for your understanding.
Donations For Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Please donate, plastic Easter eggs and candy to fill the eggs for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt which will take place on the front church lawn after Easter services. Examples of candy for the eggs: Hershey’s chocolate kisses or other candy as long as it is NUT FREE. Any questions, contact Maryalice Chech at maryalice_chech@yahoo.com
Celebrating Easter
How wonderful it will be to celebrate Easter with beautiful Spring flowers! You will find small envelopes in the pews which can be used to make donations to be used to purchase them for decorating the church. These may be made in memory of someone.
Please print legibly the names on the envelopes. The names will be included in the Easter Sunday bulletin. Place the envelopes in the collection plate or turn them into the office. In order to get the names in the bulletin, please return the envelopes by Sunday, March 18. Thank you for your assistance.
