Easter Caroling Sunday, April 8, noon to 3:30 pm
You may have noticed that there was no Christmas caroling scheduled last December. The Family Ministry Team decided that we needed to make a change. Many community groups go to care facilities to sing at Christmas, and we wanted to be different. We are going to go caroling for EASTER! The Easter season lasts for 50 days until Pentecost, so it is still Easter on April 8. We will join together for a light lunch in the Living Faith Center, practice a few songs, and then divide into teams to spread a little Easter joy to our members who are homebound. When we return to church at 3:00 pm, we will share some dessert.
