Welcome to Locust Grove!
We’re glad to have you join us for our time of worship together. If you haven’t already attended, we would
love to have you also join us for Sunday school next Sunday. Sunday school is an important step in making
further connections with a smaller group of people. Ask for help if you have any questions or
need more information about our church.

during March will go to Salvation Army.

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

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 be no Children’s church March 31 as it’s the 5th
