Congratulations!

Season of Lent This year our Lenten theme is “The Gifts of

Jesus,” and each week we’ll hear how Jesus

gives us life, healing, salvation, and grace.

We’ll also have the opportunity to create

“prayer beads” in the Café during each worship

service, to use throughout Lent, and beyond.

Wednesday, March 14th at 9:00am

We will be meeting at Eggbert’s in Owasso

for breakfast! If you plan to attend please

Women’s Retreat

Friday, April 27 - Sunday, April 29th

Sign up in the foyer today for the

Women’s Retreat at Dwight Mission

Camp! We are looking for 10 women

our own meals!

A Grandpal is any adult that has a heart for the children in our congregation.

It’s being a secret pal to a child for a few weeks this Spring.

Each child has filled out an information sheet about themselves. You can

choose one of their information sheets on Sunday, March 4th. Then each week

following you can secretly leave notes of encouragement, little snacks or small

gifts, favorite Bible verses, etc. to connect with your chosen child.

There will be a lunch following Worship on April 8th when we will reveal to the

children who their Grandpal has been! The children are very excited about

Grandpals!

Hope you’ll join in for the fun! -Ms. Susan
