Food donations during March will go to Salvation Army.

The WMS project for March is hygiene kits for Mennonite Central Committee.

Easter Sunday – We will be having a potluck breakfast followed by the morning service.  Please bring your favorite breakfast dish or 2 to share.  Gather at 9:00 AM in the sanctuary for singing and plan to eat at 9:15 AM.  Worship Service will begin at 10:30 AM.  There will be no Sunday School that morning.

Locust Grove has a College Student Aid Grant program.  If you will be attending any Christian college, university, or seminary during the 2024-25 school year, are under 26 years of age, and you or your parents are members of Locust Grove, you are eligible.  Please contact Gerri Schwartz.

It’s time to update the church directory again.  Take a look at your page and see if it needs to be updated.  Let Rin Bontrager know if you want to make any changes.

Due to spring break, we will not be having Children’s church on March 24.  Children are more than welcome to join the congregation during the morning worship service.  There are quiet bags with activities for kids located in the mailbox room for busy little hands.

There will also be no Children’s church March 31 as it’s the 5^th Sunday of the month.  This is also Easter Sunday and we invite children to be a part of the service with their parents/grandparents/guardians

There were 33 products/units of blood collected at the blood drive last Monday.  Thank you to all who helped make this a success!
