Schedule of Meetings

Dale volunteered for the April meeting to be at her house in the evening.  We will meet at 6:30 and she will serve dessert. (Eat dinner before you arrive.) Janet Sette will lead our Worship.

Rev. Susan Mitchell Scott is coming to our daytime May meeting to be our program speaker. Dale is to ask her if she wishes to include the Devotional as part of her program. Cheryl will be our hostess. Cheryl will present the Devotional if Susan does not.

In June, Nancy and Jill Weigel will be our program, presenting a slide show of their trip to Viet Nam. Desiree will bring us the Devotional.  Emily and Pat Treat will be our hostesses for the Salad Supper which will begin at 6:30 pm at the church building.

2018 Craft Fair Funds

Because the drinking water fountains in the church hallway cost approximately $1886 which came out of the approximately $2100 from the 2018 Craft Fair, we have approximately $214 we can spend another way.  Suggestions of other ways to spend this money were:

§ to include plastic Lucite card holders to the backs of the pews

§ to purchase a supply of replacement filters for the drinking fountain (We need to look up the cost of these on Amazon.com. Dale will be responsible for reminding us in Oct or Nov. By Next meeting we should know how much these will cost.

We tabled discussion on this until the May meeting.

2019 Craft Fair Planning

From the Feb. minutes, we need to discuss whether we will have a craft fair this 2019 year. Our February minutes said: [JM has realized we will be short-handed for this year’s Craft Fair.  Janet Moore will be performing a wedding that weekend and will be away. Becky Johnson may not be able to head-up the church’s Baked Goods table, and Barbara Ann is unable to fill in. Mike Phillips will be moving away in the Fall. We decided we needed to include more people in this discussion and decision making, especially Becky and Marion, so the subject was tabled until next month.]

Program and Worship Devotional

Rev. Janet Moore led our Devotional. She handed out “Spiritual disciplines for Lent” and a hymnal.  She read Isaiah 40:28-31 “The Lord is the everlasting God. He strengthens the powerless…” We sang hymn #543 Blessed Assurance.

January Project: Women of Transformation

This is on-going into April.

March Project: Heart Pillows

We finished an additional 20 pillows for a total of 40 heart pillows. [They were displayed at the front of the communion table the following Sunday and then taken to Crozier Hospital by ____.]

Lunch

Our hostess was Pat Treat. Her theme was ‘Looking forward to Spring’. She brought her chicken salad, and for dessert, a strawberry trifle.

Next Meeting

Will begin at 6:30 on April 10th in the home of Dale Harris. Our program and worship will be led by Janet Sette. The project will be health items for the Life Center, organized by Sharon Margolis.

Respectfully submitted,

Pat Treat
