| From the Pastor: A warm welcome to all who are worshiping with us today. This morning we are celebrating God�s goodness and faithfulness to us by supplying our needs over the past year. We trust this morning�s service will be a blessing to each person. There will be an opportunity during the service to bring your non-perishable offerings for the Food Bank to the front of the church. On Wednesday March 21, 7.30 p.m. we will have our quarterly meeting in the church lounge. Everyone is welcome to be there and enter fully into the discussions but only members may vote.

On Friday March 23, 7.30 p.m. there will be an interchurch prayer meeting at the Salvation Army to pray for the furtherance of the gospel in our community and a greater release of power among the churches.

A big thank you to all who have given so far. Please begin to pray for these young people that God will touch their hearts over this camp and that it will be a life-changing encounter. We have a request from a parent with two boys who have asthma. If anyone has two stretchers which we could borrow for Easter camp that would be awesome. Please see Sean.
