HOLY WEEK EVENTS
Big thanks to those who helped make the Holy Week events a huge success!  It was good to see some of our Celebration family at the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday event.  We had a scrumptious Easter Breakfast at Celebration followed by a wonderful worship service!  It is fun when we need to add more chairs in the Worship Area!  Thanks again!

PATIENCE NEEDED!
We appreciate construction only AFTER it is completed.  Well, we are in the middle of construction at Celebration!  YAY!  In the meantime, there will be some inconveniences to overcome.  (They are sandblasting as I type today and the microwave has been moved!  ARGH!)  Thanks for being patient.
