BROWNIES & BUNCO
Want to participate in our March Madness Boxed Brownie Bake-off & Bunco? We’d love to have you join us March 23, 2-4pm!
If you’re committed, sign-up outside the office so we know how many to plan for, but if you’re not sure yet, no worries, no need to sign-up!
If you’d like to help out, consider baking a box of brownies (follow the directions on the box… we know you can make them fancier, but we want to test them as they are!). If you’ve got a set of dice, bring those, too!
It’s going to be a fun, delicious, and maybe a little competitive!

OPTIONS FOR PARENTS
LIVE STREAM in our Nursery/Preschool room available during church services for anyone with the wiggles (young and old!). This space has plenty of toys to keep little ones occupied (parents should plan to be in the room with their children.)
Wiggle Room in Room #4 (the room just to the left out the Sanctuary door) is equipped with a TV to stream the service along with chairs, and a few toys. This is a great space for feeding babies or corralling toddlers! This space is also available during Sunday School for those who are not quite ready for the Preschool classroom. Parents should plan to supervise their children in this space.
And, as always, we welcome the squirms, noises, and energy that come with children. God put the wiggle in children, don’t feel like you have to suppress it here!
Children are a gift, and we’d love to support you in the faith formation of your family!
