CELEBRATION’S MIDWEEK

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Sunday is spring forward, so don’t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour.  You don’t want to be late for the last sermon in ” What is your Status?”

WORSHIP AND ARTS
There will be no rehearsal on Wednesday night.  They will be rehearsing again on Wednesday, March 11th.

FOOD TRUCK
We are looking for volunteers to help with a food truck.  The need is great in Muskegon County, and we are looking to fulfill one of our mission statements “Serving those we meet” (Matthew 25:17-30.)  Anyone that is interested, please contact Paul Pluger.  We need around 35 people willing to volunteer.

LOVE INC
Love Inc. is in need of some volunteers at their clearing house and with Play and Learn.   If anyone is interested, please contact Linda Bergman, our Love Inc liaison.

CARE PACKAGES FOR OUR  STUDENTS
There are three shoe boxes for letters, notes, and snacks, set up again for our college students. The boxes are so  Anika, Ivy, and River know we are here supporting them at college.  We also want to support Alex Gaskin, who is   joining the Army. His box is just for cards and letters, as that is the only thing he can get at basic training. The boxes will be out between 2/16-3/1, so Sunday is the last day.
