Upcoming News and Events for 3-4-12

*Got Soup? - Thank you to our wonderful crew of soup-makers this year: Arlene, Donna, Jane, Derek, Aeri, Laura, Adrienne, Charlie, Jonathan, and Gloria! Last week we got off to a deeelicious start! We are missing just one soup-maker for Mar. 18th. Would you be willing to pitch in? Please sign up next the hospitality table. Thank you!

*Calling All Gardeners - Do you have a green thumb? Do you enjoy digging in the dirt? Our beautiful church courtyard is in need of love and attention. Please connect with Pastor Emily if you might be interested in volunteering to ensure that this important space remains healthy and bright.

*LMUMC Food Pantry Workday, Mar. 10th - It's the 2nd Saturday! You are invited to pitch in to this important ministry. Please connect with Jane for more information.

*Prayer Quilt Ministry Invite - The Prayer Quilt Ministry invites YOU! Last year, more than 10 quilts were dedicated, presented, crafted and given with the love and prayers of this congregation. To gear up for 2012, we are meeting on Sunday, Mar. 11th at 1:30 PM, following S.O.U.P. Come and learn how you can help, even if you are not a quilter. Purchasing, ironing, cutting, placing ties, and coordinating fabrics are all a part of the process making a quilt. And there is always room for anyone who can sew. If you can't come to the meeting, please consider making a donation of $5-10 which helps buy supplies. If you have questions, or know someone with prayer needs who might want a quilt, talk to Jane, Becky, or Laura.

*Saving the Date - It's a party! We'd like to host a fun and meaningful Easter party for children on Saturday, Mar. 31st, from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. This is an opportunity to share the good news of Easter with our Homework Club families and beyond. Would you be able to be present and pitch in? Please sign up today.

*We LEAP Forward next Weekend!  Please remember to set your clocks an hour earlier.
