• VBS will be June 9-13 at the Christian Reformed Church.  Please fill out the sheet in your box.
  
• Scrapbooking Event - You are all invited to attend the Community Reformed Church Scrapbooking Social Friday the 11^th at 6:00 pm, in the fellowship hall!  If you are not a scrapbooker, but would like to learn, please come, because we have church albums you can learn and practice on.  We especially need the help of members who have been with CRC for a long time, because we have pictures that the newer members are unable to identify.  We need help getting albums done for the 50^th Anniversary! If you enjoy scrapbooking, but don't feel comfortable working on the church's albums, bring your own pictures and albums to work on!  Men, women, and children of all ages are invited, and bring a friend or two!  Bring a snack to share!
  
• Afternoon Ladies Bible Study will be April 15^th at 1:00pm.  We'll be studying lesson 4 & Irene Mikkelson will be hostess.
  
• Evening Ladies Bible Study - all women are invited to mark your calendars for a free evening of spiritual growth, fellowship & fun.  We'll meet on April 15^th at 6:30pm in the fellowship hall.  We're using the book Encouraging One Another by Nicole Johnson.
