MEMBERSHIP TRANSFER: It is our joy to welcome Rebecca Hoekema into our fellowship from Grace Lutheran Church in Blaine. This past Monday the elders approved the transfer of her membership.
IMPORTANT REMODEL UPDATE: The Fireside Room and Library are completely blocked off for a few days. The lift or ramp cannot be used or the door in and out of the Fireside Room. Please use the front doors to the church or the front side door by the outside mailbox. Sunday School children and parents whose children are in the nursery can still come in the back door by the lift and go down the stairs but when coming back up, must use one of the other staircases that come up into the narthex. Parents—please make sure your children understand these temporary restrictions. We will not be serving coffee upstairs or downstairs. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
NEXT SUNDAY, March 29, we will have an offering for the remodel project. If you would like to contribute at a future date, there is a pledge card in your mailbox today to fill out and place in the offering bag next week as well. Giving options:
• Cash or check in offering bag.
• Place pledge card in the offering bag for a future gift amount.
• Give cash or check in offering, plus pledge card if you wish to make an additional gift in the future.
ADMIN MEETING HIGHLIGHTS: The Admin Team met on March 17.
• Approved use of the church for a Lynden Music Festival event after Easter.
