Sarris Sale- The Fundraising Committee is kicking off a fundraiser for March and early April. We are selling Easter Candies through Sarris Candies. Since most of us buy Easter Candy, we are asking that you buy through this program to support the church. To order go to sarriscandiesfundraising.com press the button for supporting a fundraiser, then type in this group-id 10-0541.
Flea Market– As spring cleaning time hits we want you to remember our Flea Market that we’re hosting on April 26th. We would love to have your donated household items and toys. Stay tuned for more information!
“Early Dinner” every Thursday @ 4:00 pm– a group meets at local restaurants for a time of fellowship and good food! If you need a ride, carpooling is available. Tonight we meet at Red Lobster. Please call Karen Prescott (412) 443-5906 if you plan to attend so reservations can be made.
Self Denial Mission- During Lent, instead of buying that cup of coffee and donut, the UMW is asking that you donate that amount to our Self-Denial Mission. This mission is to aid the work of the Elizabeth Salvation Army in helping families in need. The “Self-Denial Jar” can be found in the Narthex, and any amount of donation is welcomed. If writing a check is easier, please make it payable to UMW. A heart-felt thank you in advance for your generosity and care.
Council Meeting– This Tuesday at 7, let the office know if something needs brought up. Thank you!

VBS Dates– This summer we’re climbing aboard for Jesus! From July 27th to August 1st we’ll be “train”ing the next generation and teaching them about Jesus. If you’d like to volunteer reach out to Karen Prescott.
VBS Collection– We’re looking for wrapping paper rolls or large cardboard boxes to help build our train for VBS this year. If you’re looking to upgrade your appliances hold onto your boxes cause we can turn those large boxes into train cars!
Meals on Wheels is seeking some new volunteers!! Special needs are for kitchen help on Tuesdays and Fridays and also drivers for Fridays. It doesn’t need to be every week, whenever you can help is gratefully appreciated. Please contact Karen Prescott @ (412) 443-5906.
The Outreach Committee has a collection container on the desk in the Narthex!! They are collecting all plastic caps from water bottles, soda bottles, etc. These caps will be delivered to a patient of Ray Gronlund’s that will recycle for a cause. Please remember to recycle the caps—not just for charity, but for the environment!! “Tabs with a Purpose” – the Outreach Committee is collecting “tabs” from the top of soup, canned goods, beverage cans, and cat food for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. Your TRASH gives them CASH! Please deposit them in the container in the Narthex.
