We hope and prayer that each of you are staying healthy. In order to maintain a bit of normalcy and to pass on relevant information during these uncertain times, I’ve elected to continue the weekly class newsletter. If you have any social events, announcements, prayer requests, etc. that you would like included, please let me know.
Sunday School Lesson and Class Time!
As previously announced, Joel is recording his lessons for Lent and they are being posted online.
The first three of five lessons in Joel Panciera’s Lenten series for our Maranatha Class are now available for viewing through Google Drive, using this link:

Joel encourages feedback. Send your questions or thoughts to joelpanciera@bostonavenue.org.
You should have also received an email providing information about the launching of weekly Maranatha Sunday School Class Zoom Teleconferences beginning next Sunday (Palm Sunday) at 10:15 am and associated “training or practice” sessions Monday – Friday of this week. I encourage you to participate.
Birthdays and Anniversaries
Happy birthday to the following folks:
Suzan Morgan – March 29th
John Harkins – April 1st
No anniversaries again this week.
Upcoming Social Activities (and cancellations)
It is with much disappointment that the decision to cancel the Designer Showcase is official. I apologize but our Maranatha designer showcase auction party is cancelled. I pray for you health and safety during these unprecedented times. Lynn
The next class social is planned for Friday, May 1. We hope and pray there will be no need to cancel or postpone. It will be a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Maranatha with a lovely dinner and worship opportunity. Stay tuned for more details.
Due to the current restaurant restrictions, the weekly meeting of Maranatha Men on Tuesdays for food and fellowship has been suspended. We hope to restart again in the near future.
Christmas Party/Auction – December 12 at Tulsa Country Club

For all of our class members and their families during these uncertain times.
Continue to pray for Lynn Goodwin who has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and was to begin chemo today (Monday).
