1. Praise the Lord! Most of you remembered last Sunday’s time change. We are proud of you.
2. From Pastor Leonard – This Sunday my teaching on the “End Times” will take a different format. I have tried to remember all the questions I have been asked, over the years, about “End Times”. So, I’m going to take a Q&A (Question and Answer) approach. Hope you can be present.
3. Our Spring-cleaning CHURCH WORKDAY is scheduled for THURSDAY, March 21, from 9–11 AM. We encourage you to come out and help sparkle up our church for Sunday services.
4. Our April Luncheon is planned for April 9th with special guest Brad Dacus of the Pacific Justice League. Tickets will go on sale starting Sunday the 17th.

6. Men’s Breakfast & Bible Study is every Thursday at 6 AM, featuring food, fellowship, and worship. We’ve started a study on the life of Abraham led by Pastor Leonard and would love to have you participate in this ministry. A donation of $5 for an amazing breakfast is appreciated.

12. Richard Abbey has started a new series on Ephesians in his Bible Alive Class, on Sunday mornings at 8:45 AM; they meet in the “Eagle’s Nest” (down the office hallway).
13. Spring Bible Conference with Charlie Campbell is planned for April 20-21. MARK YOUR CALENDARS and plan to participate! Charlie is an excellent teacher. He will do 3 sessions on Saturday (04/20) from 9 AM to noon, then on Sunday (04/21), he will teach the same subject in both services.
14. Just a thought about our 2nd service – Our 11:30 AM is ideal for people who prefer to get up a little later (worker, schedule, health, etc.), or want a little space. Consider coming at that hour since both services are the same.
