Grand Adult Trip – “The Great Hunt”: This trip is maxed out. We cannot take any more reservations for this trip. We will leave the church at 9:00 AM on Tuesday, February 24, and then hit up a few thrift stores along Highway 400 and enjoy lunch along the way.
March Fellowship Meal: Join us in Heritage Hall on Wednesday, March 4 at 5:30 PM for our Wednesday evening fellowship meal. It’s a covered dish, so bring enough to share. Setup/Clean up crew: Sue Massey, Margaret Owens, Wilma Pittman, and Linda Smith.
Grand Adult Luncheon, March 12, 11:30 AM: Our meal is a covered dish as usual, and our main event is you! Everyone is invited to bring something from home you no longer need or use – something you would like to give away. Bring something that is clean and in good condition that will be blessing to someone else. Just look through your house and use your imagination.
