We have completed our Women in the Bible study material. We will have speakers for the April & May meetings. Jan Cranford of Gateway Crisis Pregnancy Center will join us in May. We will start with a new study guide next year, probably Ephesians.
Kathy Efird will be collecting the Bottle Blessings donations (change, cash or checks) for Crisis Pregnancy Center thru the end of this month.
Other Business: The Austin family wedding will be held at our church on March 21 at 6:30. They have asked for 3 or 4 ladies to be on hand about the time the ceremony is over to light the sterno under the chaffing dishes so the food can be warming while they are taking pictures. Kathy, Dolores & Mary will be available.
Also Stephanie has been cleaning the church on alternating weeks with the Hudgens family. It is really too much for one person and we haven’t had very much luck getting people to do it on a rotating basis. It was suggested that we ask the Session to hire someone to clean on the alternate weeks. The Hudgens family provides their service as an offering of love.
