FEATURED UPDATES
CHOIR FOR EASTER SUNDAY
You are invited to sing in the choir for Easter Sunday, April 17th. There will be one rehearsal after worship on Sunday, April 10th. We will rehearse the “Easter Song” with the children, and then rehearse one other piece. Contact Leslie with questions.
SUPPORT “CANS FOR CHANGE” & COVENANT WORLD RELIEF & DEVELOPMENT
For more than 60 years, Covenant World Relief has led our denomination's response to human suffering and injustice around the world. Currently, CWRD's partners are providing assistance to Ukrainian refugees in Poland, flood relief in Ethiopia, food security assistance in Central African Republic, and much more.
During the season of Lent, we have several opportunities to support CWRD's work with the poor and vulnerable:
Follow CWR's Facebook page or website to learn more about their work
Pray for CWR, their partners, and the people they serve
Pickup a "Can for Change" soup can from church to collect coins for CWRD, and bring it to our Easter Sunday service
Go to our church's giving page to contribute, and select the "Give to Covenant World Relief and Development" fund
Write a check any time with "CWRD" in the memo line
If you already give to our "Love Offering" each month, contributions in March and April will go to CWRD
Thank you for your support!

THE MAKERS SPACE
“Whether you realize it or not, you spend the majority of your day doing things you’ve already done hundreds or thousands of times before. Very rarely do you actually try new things for the purpose of engaging a unique experience. But what if you made it a point to do exactly that? There are many benefits to doing new things – don’t cheat yourself out of them.
Ask any highly creative person how they continue to innovate and express themselves in new ways – they’ll tell you the key to their success is a commitment to trying new things.
When you try new things, you put your brain into unique situations that force it to really think. This stimulates creativity, which eventually rubs off in other areas of your life. As a result, you begin to think about everything in a new light.”—Larry Alton, Huffpost
Fear is what keeps us from trying new things, and that is the 4th question in our series, as we look at Questions? that God poses to us to begin an intimate dialogue with us. Perhaps you find yourself in a languishing or “idling” state of mind. All 5 questions can help us move into the “what’s next” phase of our lives. For more on the Questions? series visit us @www.themakersspace.us
Here is an opportunity to try something new, all you have to do is come!
March 27, 2022. 5:30-7:30pm All supplies included.
