Happy 95th birthday to you, Betty! Thank you for inviting us to your special birthday celebration and treating us to a super delicious cake. Also, big shoutout to our Children & Youth Ministry (CYM) for making tactile birthday cards for Betty. It was a joy to surprise Betty with them and see how her face beamed with happiness. Our warmest gratitude to the fellowship committee for setting up the tables and cleaning up afterwards. We are deeply grateful for the gift of our intergenerational faith community, for such thoughtful CYM leaders, and for the loving fellowship committee!

A friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time starts at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 8th. Clocks will “spring forward” one hour, so you’ll lose an hour of sleep but gain more evening daylight.

Before heading to bed tonight, set your clocks ahead by one hour to stay on schedule in the morning. Many phones and smart devices update automatically, but it’s always a good idea to double-check any manual clocks, appliances, or car displays.

Enjoy your extra hour of daylight!

One of our newest worshippers, Selby, and our staff, Sarah, helped us create paper lanterns. Our Fast From and Feast On list was dropped in these beautiful paper lanterns, and this cross will be a reminder of God's presence in our Lenten journey as the Light, along with Rev. Sunny's Lenten sermon series, "A Journey to New Life through Light."
