From Heather........

COME! SEE! HEAR! We are embarking on a journey through Lent. It is a time of self-reflection and community transformation. It is a time for traveling as pilgrims who are searching for God's call in our lives. There have been many through the centuries who have experienced Christ in remarkable ways, but only a few met Christ and witnessed His life first-hand. They would like to share the story. Mark your calendars for this remarkable trek back in time. It will be performed on March 25, 2010 at 6 pm. We will start with dinner in Kennedy Hall and proceed around the church.

We are taking reservations by passing out FREE TICKETS after the worship service [A free-will offering will be taken during the service for our youth mission trips and camp scholarships). You can also reserve tickets by calling Heather Hicks at (937) 209-2796.

Start stocking up now on candy and bring it into church as soon as possible. Thank you for your help.
