Please Pick Up a copy of the church’s April newsletter if you want one. Extra copies of the calendar page are also available.  Palm branches are also available today; you’re invited to take one home as a reminder of the events of Holy Week.

Sunday School and Nursery Care: Parents should please take your children across the street before the service starts today if they are going to Sunday School or Nursery. Nursery care is offered for those under three (Beth Boeher and Emma Henderson are today’s attendants), and Sunday School is offered for those age 3 through 6th grade.

Help Needed: We are still looking for one or two more volunteers to help out in the nursery once a month or so, or even on a temporary basis. Please see Kelly Clement to volunteer. And we need one or two more people to teach Sunday School once a month. All materials are provided. See Karen Bennett for more information on this rewarding ministry!

MYF will meet at the Glassboro VFW today at 3:00 p.m. to pack Easter Baskets for Angels Outreach. (Meet at the church at 2:45 if you want a ride.) We plan to be there until 5:00 p.m.

Holy Thursday Service: This special service remembering the Last Supper will be held in the sanctuary this Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Communion will be served.

Good Friday Service: Our traditional “Seven Last Words of Christ” service will be held in the sanctuary from 12:00 – 1:00 on Good Friday. Different speakers will share brief reflections on each word.

Easter Egg Hunt: All children are invited for our annual Easter Egg Hunt, to be held THIS Saturday (postponed from yesterday due to inclement weather). It will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. behind the Hall. (It’s always over quickly, so don’t be late!) See Jen Fox if you have questions or would like to help.

Easter Sunday: On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Join us at either 8:30 (in the sanctuary) or 10:00 (in the Hall). Confirmation will take place at the 10:00 a.m. service. All children should attend the first part of the service and will be dismissed to Sunday School (to be held in the Hall) from there. Nursery care will NOT be offered next Sunday.

Many Thanks:
~~ to everyone who helped with our Chicken Pot Pie Dinner! We served 345 people and made about $7,400! We especially appreciate the leadership of Amy Reuter, Sheryl Casey and Laura Cunard.
~~ to those who filled and returned Easter Baskets. Many have been delivered to Kids Alley and more will go to a couple of families in Kensington. We filled 44 buckets!
~~ to everyone who participated in last week’s Talent Show. You all did an amazing job!

Coats and Blankets: A group is now going to Kensington twice a month. We are looking for blankets, warm coats, and sneakers. Please do not drop off anything except street-worthy clothes! Any that you have to donate should be put in the shed behind the Hall.
Contact Carol Brozosky (856-264-3672) if you want to join her any time or make a hot meal for her to take to the homeless.

LIFE Class will meet on Tuesday, April 2nd, at 7:00 p.m. in the Hall. All women are welcome.

Membership Sunday will be April 28th, with two Membership Classes held before that (April 7th and 14th). Classes will be held in the Conference Room at the Hall after church; lunch will be served to those who attend. See the pastor if you would like to join the church.

ShopRite Cards: These work just like cash, and we earn 5% on every dollar. Buy them here and help raise funds for the church! See Jennifer Souders, Sue Hitchner or Karen Luttenberger (609-617-4546).
