Today...

• Mennonite Youth Choir practice, 1:30 - 3 pm
• Please let Pastor Dave know today... he plans to hold a membership class beginning in March. If you are interested in participating, even if you expressed your interest on the church covenant renewal.

The Thumb Warriors had a great week last week and were able to pass the 3R's Team in the movement category for the first time. The Warriors also accomplished the most Spiritual Goals last week. But the 3R's lost an amazing 20 pounds and so soared ahead in that category. Keep up the good work!

On March 9th, we will be celebrating communion together. We invite you to be preparing your hearts and minds for this celebration.

Do you know someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one? Invite them to attend GriefShare. This 13-week series will be offered here every Tuesday evening at 5:30 pm starting on March 4. Pick up a flyer at the welcome center.

Puzzle Swap: March 2 will be the last puzzle swap until next fall. If you would like, please bring a puzzle to share with someone else or select a puzzle for yourself.
