Easter Flowers If you would like to dedicate an Easter flower in memory or in honor of a loved one, there are dedication forms available here and in the Narthex. Please note on the form if you plan to take the flower with you on Easter Sunday, or if it is a dedication only. Flowers are $10 each. Please put “Easter flowers” on the memo line, if paying by check. March 26th will be the last day for sending in dedications.

The Education Committee is now offering dedicated childcare during Sunday worship. Two nursery volunteers will be available to keep young children in the Narthex Parlor. Plans are being made to transition the Middle School room to a dedicated nursery, which will open soon. School-age children are welcome to use the PRAYground inside the sanctuary. Stay tuned for more updates, and contact your Education Elders if you’d like to assist: Klara Smith and Cindy Weimer.

Save the Date for an all-church Garden Work Day on Saturday, April 1st. Bring work gloves, and hand tools, if you have them. If not, we’ll have extras.

There are spots available for upcoming dates to bring food to Clifton. For more information or to sign up, click here. This ministry is a very easy thing to do while maintaining your social distancing since meals are dropped off on Clifton’s front porch after calling ahead to let them know when you are coming. Last month, a group gathered on the 4th Sunday of the month after worship to make lunches for Clifton. If you are interested in helping, contact Phyllis Bearden
