Spring is almost here!! And with it comes Lent, the season leading up to Easter, a most joyous time in our church life. We hope you can join us during this meaningful time of the church year to grow in your own personal life as well as share in some awesome fellowship.

Get ready to fry those sausages and flip those pancakes—yes folks it’s that time again, Pancake Day!! On March 3 please join us for one of the best Pancake breakfasts around. We will be serving from 7 to 11:30, so please come out to eat with your family and friends, join in the fellowship of working that day or both! There are opportunities for all and we look forward to seeing everyone there. We will also have a bake sale to satisfy any hunger pangs you may have left after your pancakes.

We are also scheduling our 2nd Annual Trivia Night, we had a date picked, but have run into some conflicts. We will have a new date soon and let you know so you can form your team and come out to compete against last year’s winners.

It has been the tradition at Union Church for many years that the youth organized and presented the Sunrise Service on Easter Sunday morning. At the current time we are looking for someone that would be willing to take over this event for this year as we currently have no youth group.  This year it may have to be a joint youth/adult service, but please speak to Pastor Steve or myself if you feel you would like to work on this. When we get the service organized we will ask someone else to serve the breakfast so you don’t have to take on both events. Please prayerfully consider working with our youth to keep this tradition alive!

Do you remember going to Bible School for a week or maybe even two in the summer time as a child? This is a time that many of us have cherished for years, and it may have even formed an integral part of your faith. If this is something you would like to see continued at Union Church please step forward and share your ideas, there may be someone else who would like to join you, otherwise the VBS tradition will become a thing of the past for now. Please see me or Julie Barton if you are interested.

I look forward to seeing you at church and at all of these events this Lenten season.

Blessings to all,
Janet
