COMMUNION SERVERS

Dottie Whitfield and Cory Whitfield


The Alpha Leadership Board will meet Sunday, March 8 at 5:00 p.m.. It is very important that you be at the meeting if you are on this committee.


The Men’s Ministry Breakfast will meet Sunday, March 8 at 8:00 am. Come at 7:00 a.m. if you want to help cook. This is a great time of food and fellowship.


Willene Stone will host a Lenten Bible study on Ephesians at her home, beginning February 25 at 1:00 p.m. and lasting for 6 weeks. Please RSVP to Willene.i.stone@gmail.com so she can prepare enough food and materials.


When you are the LAST to leave the building, please be sure to set thermostats back to their original settings, turn off all lights, set the alarm (just push the “exit” button and leave) and be sure all doors are locked. Also, please be sure there is no one else in the building before you set the alarm. Thank you for helping keep expenses down and keep the church safe.


Palm Sunday is March 29. Your child is invited to help carry in palm branches to begin this service of celebration in recognition of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. After the service, we will be having a covered-dish meal in the social hall, followed by our annual Egg Hunt for the children. We are asking for donations of FILLED platic eggs for the hunt. Please have your donations at church by Sunday, March 22 so we can be sure we have enough.

MARCH 2026

We do not want to remove anyone who still needs prayers, just for the sake of removing people. However, there are several on here that we do not personally know or have not gotten recent updates. If there is anyone on the list who has recovered, please let us know. Again, please do not remove people if they still need prayers! Our prayer life at Alpha is one of our strengths
