Bible Engagement Project: We are in the “Listen” phase of the Family Devotions on the Bible Engagement Project’s app. We will be moving out of order in April to allow room for the Easter story that took place in March. Note the Sunday lessons schedule below for more details. Please contact me with questions regarding navigating the Bible Engagement Project’s app.
 
April 20^th at 11:30am: Come celebrate and say your “Thank Yous” to Bryan and Elli Zatezalo. Bryan and Elli’s last day volunteering in our kids’ ministry was March 31^st. They have their baby girl on the way in May and plan to settle in Oregon to be close with family later this summer. Please allow your kids to give them a note of thanks, and a kind blessing for their baby. Their baby registry is on Amazon.
 
May 10^th-11^th: Planting Hope Conference at Praise Covenant. Friday 6pm-9pm and Saturday 9am-4:30pm. The topic is “Bridging faith and young mental health.” Contact Andrew Kruse for more information at youth@praisecovenant.net.
 
August 5^th-9^th: Save the date for our Scuba VBS event. I will be getting the registration and our wish list of donations up soon. We will need all hands on deck to make this community outreach a success, so please consider how you can volunteer this year.
 
Revitalizing the Food Donation Box: I would like to encourage us all to make regular donations in our collection box this year. Incorporating your children will help get them into a spirit of generosity.
 
Happy birthdays: Oliver H., Wyatt L., Alana T. and Colette H. all have birthdays in April. Be sure to give them an extra fist bump and a happy birthday wish this month.
