Thanks to Those Who Filled our Easter Food Baskets:
Once again, the generosity of the community has overwhelmed us! Thanks to you, we have filled our Eastter baskets with lots of healthy fresh produce, a nice ham, dairy products and much more plus great non-perishables for the pantries of 10 families (60 individuals) in need this Easter. With the monetary donations, we were even able to expand our original menu of items. Your response has filled the hearts of the Outreach Committee with joy. Thank you so much!

Chapel Grounds Clean-up:
Thanks to Penny and Kenny Allen and many volunteers, the chapel grounds are in great condition for our Easter services. Larry Morris showed up with his shredder in tow and Dale Hampton with his trailer to haul branches. Sheila Hampton was our photographer. Todd Wilkinson also volunteered his truck to haul branches. Others armed with rakes, chain saws, or leaf blowers were Chris and Valerie Shunney, Dan and Liz Brown, Dan and Marjie McCandless, Walter Lewis, and David Main. Their work took less than two hours!
