1. Small groups - the girls continue to meet each Sunday at 5:00. The guys small group will meet on 3/27 and they will learn how to fix a leaking pipe. 

2. Baptisms - I have had several students express an interest in being baptized. We are looking to set up a Baptism service at another local church so we can baptize by immersion. If you student or a family member would like to be baptized, please let me know. I am looking at dates right after spring break - perhaps 4/17 or 4/24. Please let me know if you have a preference for one of these dates. 

3. Mission trips - Please let me know of your interest and pay the deposit of $100.00 by 3/20 to confirm your participation in the mission trip. 

4. New Song will be producing some videos in the coming weeks for the Forward Campaign and will be focusing on the concept of Gratitude. For the children and youth to appear, a release must be signed. Please email [email protected] if you need a release emailed to you.
