March Bulletin
Presence
Somehow I feel God’s presence
here, in a garden sprinkled with the dew;
Among the waving tulip cups,
where miracles of spring are new.
I see Him in each petal face – in
every flower nodding there,
In roses with their sweet perfume
wafting on the springtime air.
I find Him in the quiet place, in
green spears pushing through the sod;
And in the silence I can feel and
hear the gentle voice of God.

Volunteer Needed
Our
church is in charge of getting volunteers for car parking & the coat check
at the Mennonite Relief Sale in March.
Nelson Koch has been handling this for several years & is ready to
hand it off to someone else! If you
would be willing to take over this responsibility, please call Nelson at
267-6627. Thanks!!
Lost & Found Boxes
Please
check the lost & found boxes at church.
They are getting very full. Also,
please check on the shelves by the coat racks for any lost items.
Marching to Zion Books
We
ordered the Marching to Zion
books back in September & at that time we expected to have them by
now. The process is taking longer than
we thought. The books are in process,
but now the estimated availability is around April 1st.
Thank
you for your patience!!
Fort Lauderdale Church Remodeling
The Fort Lauderdale Church is about to begin an extensive
remodeling & updating of their church facility. The sanctuary, kitchen, & bathrooms will all
be part of this project. In the
sanctuary, the pulpit area will be redone.
The church pews will be removed to allow the old carpet to be removed
& new to be installed. The kitchen
area will undergo a complete makeover with the old cabinets & counters
being replaced by new. During the
remodeling project, services will be held at the FH adjacent to the
church. Volunteer accommodations will be
provided. This project will begin in
early February. The work is expected to
continue through March, April, & into May depending on the amount of labor
available. As the work begins, the focus
will be on the removal of the existing features to make way for installation of
the new. Unskilled laborers will provide
the man power needed to accomplish this phase. Carpenter skills will be needed as the project
progresses. The goal is to assemble from
6-10 volunteers to work each day. A
World Relief tool trailer will be on site.
Bro. Bob Huber is the local contact for this project: 954-792-6727, rghuber111@bellsouth.net
Anyone
interested in working on this project should contact Bro. Bob to schedule their
work time. May God bless each helping hand.
World Relief Informational

The
Annual World Relief Informational Meeting will be held at the Princeville Fellowship

way to learn about some of the many opportunities World Relief has to offer …
helping the less fortunate & just to become aware of how our church is
helping those around the world. Please
contact Pete & Debbie Aberle if you would like to attend so we can give
them a lunch count. Thanks!
