Monthly Capital Campaign – The March capital campaign is for The Love Basket. The Love Basket is a drive through food pantry ministry that started in October of 2005 as a Sunday school project at Patrick St. Church of Christ in Dublin. They became an independent organization in October 2007 and serve anyone in need in Erath County and are open the first and third Fridays of each month, from 8-11:00 am and from 5-6:30 pm. They are an all-volunteer organization, supported by Erath County United Way and individual contributions from the community. We will take an offering in support of this ministry on Sunday, March 22nd.
“Digging Deeper” Opportunity – Pastor Draayer is now offering a time following the worship service to dive deeper and answer any questions about the sermon during fellowship time. If you are interested in this, grab a cup of coffee, then meet in the Pastor's office following the service.
Church Service Nursery Announcement – Every week, nursery-aged children will be dismissed to the nursery following the children’s message. Secondly, to reduce how often volunteers are scheduled, we are seeking additional nursery volunteers. Even serving once every other month makes a big difference! If you’re willing to help, please let Desiree or Marsha know.
Profession of Faith Class – Pastor Draayer will be offering another pre-profession of faith class this afternoon at the church at 3:00 pm in the council room.
Small Group Leadership Class – Pastor Draayer will be offering another small group leadership training class this evening at the church at 6:00 pm in the council room.
New Online Giving Option – We are pleased to announce that we will now be utilizing Tithe.ly as an option for online giving. This platform provides a convenient and secure way to contribute to the ongoing ministry of our church. An email was sent out this week with more information on how to use this service. You can also scan the QR code below to give digitally.
Monthly Celebration of Communion – Next Sunday, March 15th, we will celebrate the sacrament of communion and Cindy Ofringa will be here to lead music ministries.

If you are not on our email list, please talk to Desiree Stoker.
