First Sunday Event: Today, our 4th – 6th graders meet at 9:30 to go grocery shopping for Peter’s Pantry.  They will be sharing briefly during the 10:30 service today.  Thank you to all who gave in last Sunday’s special collection; $160 was received to purchase non-perishables.  All children are invited to go downstairs at 10:30 today for a special First Sunday Event on the poor and hungry. 

Christian Unity Service: Everyone is invited to attend this special service, to be held next Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at Trinity UMC in Mullica Hill.

Softball Sign-ups: A sign-up sheet has been posted in the Narthex and the Hall entry for the 2010 Season of the All Faiths Co-Ed Softball League.  Anyone (male or female) 16 and over, or as young as 14 with parental consent, is invited to join the team.  The first game is scheduled for April 13th and practices will be held before that. Contact Jim Stiles (856) 478-0880 or (856) 625-1137 or e-mail him at stiles.jjr2@verizon.net if you have any questions.

Knit & Crochet Ministry: Anyone interested in joining this group is welcome to meet this week on Tuesday (7:00 p.m.) or Friday (10:00 a.m.).  These are all work sessions, so bring whatever project you are currently making.  One of the ladies will be making pillow cases for recovering cancer patients.  Anyone wishing to donate fabric for these should give it to Bobbie Pohl.  The fabric should be one yard of 45” wide material, cotton, synthetic or blend (weight similar to conventional bedding).

Trustees will meet this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room at the Hall.  Members are:   Ken Aumack, John DeGirolamo, Bill Fox, Darryl Harper, Donna Kavlunas, Gene Lalicker, John Lockman, Jim Stiles, and Joe Willmot.

Bible Studies: Everyone is encouraged to join a Bible study group!  We have three that meet regularly:

~~Wednesday morning, 10:00 – 11:00.  Studying Genesis.  All are welcome.

~~Thursday evening, 7:00 – 8:00.  Studying Acts.   Everyone is welcome.

~~Thursday evening, 7:30 – 9:00.  College & Career.  Studying Integrity.

Mom’s Coffee: All moms are welcome to meet at the home of Terry Klodnicki (58 Woodland Ave., Mullica Hill) this Friday morning. Come around 8:45 for breakfast treats, coffee and conversation.

In Concert: Michael Jones and Sandi Sweet will appear in concert at the Cross Keys UMC on Saturday, March 13th, at 7:00 p.m.  Dessert will be served and a love offering will be received.  Everyone is welcome.

30-Hour Famine: Our MYF kids are now looking for sponsors for this event, to be held this Friday and Saturday.  This year, we have designated all our funds to be given through World Vision to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.  Your gift will help distribute life-saving food, medicines, and family survival kits — including clean water, blankets, cooking supplies, and tents — to children and families devastated by the earthquake.  World Vision has worked in Haiti for 30 years and has more than 800 staff on the ground.  Your support will help them meet the immediate, urgent needs of the earthquake survivors, and also enable World Vision to help the people of Haiti rebuild and recover in the weeks and months to come.

   MYFers will meet at the Hall this Friday at 6:00 p.m. for lessons and games.  (Bring your Famine Packets, $12 for bowling, sleeping bag and pillow, and clothes and toiletries to spend the night.)  Also that night the group will go bowling.  On Saturday, we will collect food for Peter’s Pantry by going door to door in local neighborhoods.  After delivering all the non-perishables, the kids will go on a scavenger hunt.  A covered dish dinner (families are encouraged to join us – and bring the food!) has been scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in the Hall to break the fast.

Fine Arts Night: Gloucester County Christian School invites you to attend their Fine Arts program, to be held on Thursday, March 18th, at 7:00 p.m. at Hardingville Bible Church.  Members of the school choir, hand bell choirs, and drama teams will present the program, which showcases the talent competing at the state level that week.

Pot Pie Dinner: Tickets are now available for this popular dinner, to be held on Saturday, March 20th, from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m.  Cost is $12 for adults and take-outs, and $6 for children.  See Dot Reuter if you can take a pack of tickets to sell to your friends and neighbors.  Cooks, set-up and clean-up crews and bakers (for dessert) are needed for the day.  Please sign up in the Narthex or the Hall entry if you are willing to provide a cake for dessert (about 35 will be needed!). 

Talent Night: Our Annual Talent Show will be held on Sunday, March 21st.  Anyone interested in being on the program should sign up with Mildred Herman.  Share your music, dance, or drama talent with your church family!

Easter Egg Hunt: The annual Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, March 27th.  The Young Adult group will be hosting the event, and are looking for donations of cash, wrapped candy and small, non-edible items like stickers and erasers.  Items should be brought to church by March 21st.  See Dawn Valente.

Easter Basket Mission Project: Our Missions Committee will again be putting together Easter Baskets to give to needy children through Peter’s Pantry.  Please bring wrapped candy, filled plastic eggs, little toys or stuffed animals, grass and baskets by March 14th.  Be sure to put these items in the Mission Collection (not the Easter Egg Hunt collection).

Opportunity to Serve: South Jersey Healthcare HospiceCare is looking for volunteers.  These volunteers provide care and support services to patients and their caregivers in their homes or in area nursing homes.  A new program entitled Transitions will offer similar services to patients not served by hospice but in need of help.  Training is offered to all volunteers.  For more information, contact Brenda Freitag.

Brick Pavers:  Your donation of only $150 for a 4x8” brick or $300 for an 8x8” brick will help the church maintain the Hall.  This discounted price is only good until July 25th.  Pick up an order form or see Adele Harper.

Grocery Certificates: By purchasing ShopRite certificates here, you can contribute to the church at no cost to you. The cards work just like cash, and we earn 5% on every dollar.  Cards are available any time from Karen Luttenberger, Sandy Russell, Jennifer Guht, Michele Giaquinto or Dot Reuter.
