Greetings, Maranatha friends,
We’re now in the midst of Maranatha March Madness! Let’s pack the house Sunday for the fourth lesson in Dr. Joel Panciera’s thought-provoking series, “Is There a Limit to God’s Love?”
Daylight Saving Time starts this Sunday. Spring forward an hour on Saturday, and plan to be in class a little early again. Joel will start teaching promptly at 9:45 so that he can leave to rehearse the choir, then we will conduct class business at the conclusion of his lesson.
You can find last Sunday’s recording here: http://www.bostonavenue.org/uploads/media/audio/180304maranatha.mp3 .
Welcome to our visitor, Susan Hamilton’s granddaughter Emma.
Thanks to Sharon Earley and Julee and Jim Embrey for our refreshments and to Bob Russell for our prayer last week. Snacks this Sunday will be provided by Rick and Melanie Evans and Lynn Russell, and Carol Maus will lead us in prayer.
Happy birthday to Ruth Giessen, Kenny King and Kendall Carpenter. Happy anniversary to Christi and Kramer Luks, Pam and John Sherman, and Michelle and Kirk Place.
