All are invited to participate in the Seder Meal Sunday, March 28 at 9:15 am. The Seder gives us time to pause and reflect on God's promises to us. Sign up lists are at the information desk. We do ask that all those participating sign up in advance so we can plan the food. Also, you may wish to provide the food items needed.
- THE DORCAS CLASS MEETINGS RESUME . . .

- BLANKET DRIVE . . .
In order to help our friends and neighbors in the community stay a little warmer this winter, Smith Oil holds an annual blanket drive. They are collecting new and gently used blankets (no holes or frays) for distribution. A basket for donations is in the side room of the church, and blankets will be collected until the end of March. Be sure to find it in your warm heart to help with this wonderful cause!
- FROM THE PROPERTY COMMITTEE . . .
We are initiating an effort to purchase new tables for the social hall. The new tables are light-weight and easy to handle. If you would like to donate to their purchase, please place your check in the offering plate clearly marked: NEW TABLE PURCHASE. The new tables are $80 each but any amount is appreciated.
Thank you for supporting this important improvement.
- RELAY FOR LIFE . . .
Representatives of the Ligonier Valley are gearing up for this year's American Cancer Society "Relay for Life", May 7 - 8. St. James' Team Captain is J. Alexander, one of our star relay "walkers". See the Parish Notes for more information.
