The Vine is holding a deeply meaningful Prayer Vigil this Saturday, March 29th. This special event will take place around the clock, from the stillness of midnight to the closing moments just before midnight, allowing for 24 hours of prayer.
We encourage you to carve out an hour during this day to come to the church to connect with God through an hour of prayer.
There are still time slots available! Please stop by the Welcome Center to sign up for an hour slot that works best for you. Alternatively, you can effortlessly sign up by clicking the button below.
Join us as we come together in spirit and devotion, embracing the power of prayer. |

| Ladies, please join us for a 5-week study on the Holy Spririt beginning Thursday, March 27, 6pm, in the Ministry Center, and meeting every other Thursday after.
You Know of Him -- But Do You Know Him? Jesus told his closest friends that He needed to leave so the Holy Spirit could come--and that they would be better off because of it (John 16:7, 13-14). If Jesus told this to his disciples, who spent every day with Him, then how much more do we need the Holy Spirit actively involved in our lives today?
There is an interactive book that we will use for the study. It can be purchased on Amazon through this link. Sign up at the Welcome Center or by clicking on the button below.
Any questions, please contact Cathy Barberio (cathybarbariocb@gmail.com) |

March showers have brought VBS flowers! Each Sunday in March the crafters guild will be making oversized flowers to help decorate for VBS. We will be meeting in the room downstairs behind the stage from 11:30-12:30. No special skills are necessary and all ages are welcome.
Let the Crafters Guild help out with your spring cleaning this year! We are currently looking for large bowls, cardboard boxes, old garden hoses, dyer vent hoses, garden stakes, driveway markers, and the brown wrapping paper used to cushion items for shipping. Broken stakes, markers, and hoses are great, as we will be cutting them down to make decorations. Please bring any items downstairs to the crafting room. Any questions, see Becky Jewell.
