NOTES FROM THE PASTOR
- VIDEO MINISTRY: You received either an email or a letter about a proposed project to upgrade our audio / visual equipment to continue our video ministry. If you agree with the project and affirm the work, you don’t need to do anything. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me, Alex Gallenstein or Paul Jackson by Friday, March 12.
- DONATIONS: Last week, I cleaned out some closets at the church and found lots of things we had collected that needed to be delivered to our partners. I took coffee and hot chocolate to the Emergency Shelter. Welcome House received diapers, wipes, adult Depends and cleaning products. I took some feminine care products to the Pink Link Project for Covington Partners. We received a thank you letter from Covington Partners that includes more information about the project – please see attached. Thank you to all who have donated items to the church.
- THRIVING CONGREGATIONS: We are participating in the Thriving Congregations program through Lexington Theological Seminary. Attached is an update by the program director, Rev. Erin Cash.

Your gift supports college students in leadership development programs, global mission partners, health and social service ministries, the formation of new congregations, support for pastors and chaplains, and so much more.
Please send your gift to church with a notation that it is for the Easter Special Offering.
