Help Young Graduates Prepare for College     
Share the excitement of the eight Neighborhood Academy graduating seniors as they prepare for college life. We hope to fill a laundry basket for each student with some of the typical dorm needs (i.e., twin sheets, towels, pens, highlighters, toiletries, etc.). Please stop by our "event table" after worship on Sundays, April 8 and 15, to volunteer to purchase some of these items. The Community Kids Mission Action Community (MAC) sincerely thanks you!
Calling All Bakers      
Our annual birthday cake celebration is scheduled for Sun., April 22. We will need a minimum of two dozen cakes. Bake your favorite recipe or try a new one - a variety of cakes makes for a great event. Sign up in the Sharp Atrium lobby (or call the church office) to let us know what kind of cake you will bring and which month of the year you would prefer to honor.
Office Closed      
Shadyside Presbyterian Church wishes you a blessed Easter! The church office closes at noon on Friday, April 6, and re-opens on Tuesday, April 10.
