FUGE YOUTH CAMP BAKE SALE
THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 19
AFTER THE SERVICE
The 13 students attending FUGE Youth Camp this summer are hosting a bake sale to help raise funds to offset the cost of camp. Grab a baked good (or two!) after service, and donate to the camp fund! We will have options for cash, check & online donations.
PROPERTIES VOLUNTEERS
SATURDAY, APRIL 1
The properties note last week mentioned spending a few hours this coming Saturday cleaning up the property. We are rescheduling this time and are instead planning on April 1st. Really, this is no April Fool's joke! We will spend a couple of hours making things look nice for Easter. Also, if you have time during the week, there are always opportunities for fun projects.

If you would like to be on the properties distribution list or are interested in a project, please let Pastor David know by sending him an email. Thank you!
MARCH MEET-UPS
ALL MONTH LONG!
Everyone needs community! We want to help! During the month of March, we’d like to encourage our Knollwood family to get to know each other by planning a March Meetup! Get to know someone you’ve always wanted to know. Finally ask that person out for coffee. Fill a booth at a restaurant by inviting one person you already know and two people that you don’t. Do you like to run? Invite a couple of other people who also like to run and meet up at a park! Does your family like to play board games? Invite another family over to join you. Sign up below if you need help coming up with a meetup idea, if you need people to connect with, or if you plan a meet-up so we can pray for you!

NICAWORKS
Thank you to Judy Corcoran for your report this past Sunday on your trip to Nicaragua for an onsite check-in with our mission partner, NicaWorks. It is a joy to be part of helping this ministry as they work to break the cycle of poverty and bring the hope of the Gospel to those who are in need. If you are willing to help defray some of the expenses of this trip, feel free to make a donation. You can do this by including "Missions - NicaWorks" as a memo on your check or select the fund type with that same name if giving online. If you use text to give, include "nicaworks." Thank you!
