IN THE KNOW:

Changes taking place

Lucinda reports that the curtains don't move anymore in her bedroom! 

Pastor Bill says the new dishwasher is very quiet. It didn't wake Lucinda!

The construction guys are making a few changes. The stone on the front of the house started falling off. So the rest is coming down. One window is on backorder. Siding is going on today. It is a pretty gray color. So long green! The deck on the front will extend to the driveway. Jim K is working on trim for the inside. 

We are waiting on the camera to arrive and be installed.

Out of the mouth of babes: 

1. During a recent chapel time, Pastor Bill talked about Palm Sunday and Jesus' ride into Jerusalem. (Already know what I am going to say? lol)

How did Jesus get into Jerusalem? What did he ride? 

Answer: Giraffe

Now people laid down things in the road as he came into town. What were they? 

Answer: Their Blankies

2. From today:  When Jesus was placed in the cave and the stone was rolled across in front of it, what did Jesus do? 

First answer: Laid an egg

Then after some review, the same child came up with "Broke out!"

Ways to serve:

* We need more help with the First Friday food pantry. 

* Filling the empty boxes in the Alliance pantry. 

* Help out in the media booth. Ed, Phil, and Terry might need a break sometime soon!

* Communion servers

* Scripture readers/ liturgists

* Front flower gardens need a little attention.

Pastor Bill will be at the Eagles Lodge on April 15th for Pet Day. He will be there between 11 and 12 for blessing of the pets. Stop by with your pet and enjoy the activities. Haven of the Ozarks will be there also.
