Living Faith is partnering with the PUCC to provide flowering plants to decorate the sanctuary of the PUCC for Easter! There is a sign up sheet on the sign up table for you to indicate if you would like to provide a plant along with who you are honoring or remembering with this plant.
Plants can be brought to the Fellowship Hall on Thursday (March 28) or Friday (March 29) morning - 10:00 - 12:00. They can be taken home following our 11:15 service.
Please do not donate an Easter lily as some worshipers have allergies to this plant.
Easter Activity for Families!
Stop by the sign up table and pick up an egg carton of Resurrection Eggs for your family! Starting March 20th, open an egg each day until Easter to experience the Easter story! Kortney Kopperud and Kay Michaelson have created this activity for our young families! Thank you to all who donated egg cartons for this project!
One carton per family, please!
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Lenten Season Fundraiser!
WOW! What a great response Living Faith has shown to this fundraiser!
If you would like to join in on helping this great cause, stop by the Easter egg tree on the sign-up table, take an egg off the tree, follow the directions on the inside of the egg, and return your items by March 31st and place them under the sign-up table.
This is a great local charity whose mission is to ensure that all children have a bed to sleep in at night!
