GIFT Night ~ Friday 4/10 @ 6:30
We are excited to announce the 3rd GIFT Night! (Gospel Intergenerational Friendship Time). Gather for a potluck meal, have fun and learn intergenerationally. We’ve learned to tie knots, change a bike tire, and build a planter box. What might we do this time? Come find out! Questions? Ask Jon or Anthony.
Childcare Sign Up Apr-Jun
You are invited to sign up to serve in childcare over the next three months (Apr-Jun 2026)! We ask that families with kids in childcare volunteer at least once a month, and we also invite all adults and youth to consider serving as a practice of intergenerational friendship and mutual formation. If you have questions about serving in childcare, please reach out to Karen Lu (kl.karenlu@gmail.com).
Pray for Presbytery Meeting
Please pray for Chi-Ming and Karen Yee who are at the Presbytery meeting in El Paso today and tomorrow, March 12-13. They will be sharing about our disaffiliation from the denomination and would like prayer for God’s guidance and presence, peaceful process, and good and graceful interactions.
