Good Gifts for Easter
 Easter is this week. As you celebrate the joy of the risen Christ with those you love, what about sharing that joy with someone in need?
Browse ELCA Good Gifts for more than 50 different gift-giving options, each with the potential to transform lives. Print a card and tuck it into any child's basket to let them know about the gift you've given in their honor.
Ten chicks, for just $10, make a perfect addition to plastic eggs and marshmallow chicks - and they have the potential to make real, lasting change for a family in need. Nutritious eggs to eat and sell on the market help a family take one giant step toward ending hunger for good.

Church Cleaning a Success!
Thank you to all who participated in our spring Sanctuary Cleaning and to all who donated towards window washing. Did you notice how the windows gleamed?
A big thank you to Murray MacLeod for overseeing
the project and to the sore and tired scrubbers on Saturday, you were magnificent! Most volunteers stayed all three hours and not an inch of the Sanctuary escaped their notice. Our volunteers included:
Tom and Bunny Anderson, Jan Lee, Marie Brauer, Stephanie MacLeod, JoAnn Hudson, Lynne Haynes,
Lowell Helgager, Pam Vogt, Mike Botz, Pastor Bryan, Kjrste, Brendan and Johanna Hillig, Mike, Caryl,
Hannah, Russell and Alyssa Benner, Darrin, Heather and Jameson Cowie, Paris Logsdon, Bonnie Boord
and Craig and Marsha Eubanks.
If anyone was left out, know that your time and energy were greatly appreciated!
Finally, to Bruce Boord, Jeff Helgager and Kris Smith, bravo for braving the thorns of the Petersen's
palm trees to bring us palm fronds. It was lovely to again have palm branches in the Sanctuary for Palm
Sunday.
