We are continuing with our Lenten devotionals throughout March. Easter is March 31.
Pastor Rodger Charles from First Baptist Church, will be presenting, and this will also be the first day of Spring, which represents ?New Life.? Then on the final Lenten devotional we will have pastor Larry Timm from Gracepoint in Peabody. We hope others will join us.
We will have Bingo Thursday, March 21, right after lunch. Bring a couple Easter treats for the prize basket.
Linda Eden will be hosting the rescheduled ?World Day of Prayer? Friday, March 22. It goes without saying that we can pray at any time, so this time will be just as special as it would have been March 1.
We will finish up March with our regular holiday brunch on Good Friday, March 29, so everyone will have a little extra time for their Easter holiday plans.
Kim Nellans, our head cook, will be preparing a breakfast casserole with eggs, potatoes, and ham. We will also have cinnamon rolls or blueberry coffee cake. It is always such a delicious way to start off a holiday weekend.
Happy holidays to everyone and please plan on joining us at the senior center for fun, food, and fellowship.
