Minutes from the March 1st Members meeting have been posted to the bulletin board in the foyer for review.

Comforter Blitz A big thank you to everyone that participated in the Comforter Blitz!! 205 comforters were tied and a lot of good fellowship occurred as well. There are still 95 comforters that need to be taken to Newton, let Delvin  Mast know if you are going that way and could take some more.  Until they all find a way to KS, many of them still need binding if you are able to do that.

Wednesday Evening Wrap-up This Wednesday night, March 11th will be the last time for our meal and organized activities for the Spring semester. A note for kids and teachers: Pre-K through 12th grade will meet for group activities in the gym at 6:30 PM. Thank you to the kitchen crew, teachers & helpers and all who participated! We look forward to resuming Wednesday evenings this Fall.

Wedding Shower Please join us in celebrating Erin Slagell and Max Murphy in anticipation of their upcoming wedding. The shower will be April 19th in the home of Dennis & Candace Slagell. The couple are registered at Amazon, Dillard’s and Sur La Table. If you would like to help with the wedding shower, please  contact Jordan Nel.

Dear Church Family

Wallace and I would like for you to know how much we truly appreciate the love expressed to me by our Church family during this difficult time of surgeries and nursing home stay. The visits, lovely flowers, the cards, the thoughtful gifts, and goodies have been amazing. Your kindness and generosity has kept my spirits up and I have felt Gods love through your actions. I am back home now and look forward to when we are able to be back with you in person. Again, Thank you so much.         ~Kay and Wallace Crispin

Thank you to all who helped buy the 56 liquid protein tubs and the one who loaned the trailer to haul them, for our neighbors who were victims of the   Ranger Road Fires in February of this year. Some of these people are the same ones that lost so much in the 2017 fires, including Rodney Albert. They were delivered on Feb. 28th to a drop off point close to Knowles, OK, where Rodney  was waiting, and where others had already delivered hay to. Sometimes we wonder if we make a difference at a time like this, but when a man thanks you with a firm handshake and almost comes to tears, you know you’ve made a difference! Thank You!      ~David & Martha Miller
