30 Pieces of Silver, a sacrificial offering for Lent. This year’s goal is to raise funds for a generator ($2,500) and 2 air conditioners ($950) for Withrow College in Ghana. Watch your donations extend Christ’s love halfway around the world. Give power to Withrow College through Christ’s power. 30 Pieces offering envelopes are at the rear with additional information.
Easter Dinner, FREE community dinner for anyone who is alone or any family who will come together with us. Pastor Becky and Cheri Bissinger are heading up this community meal.
