The Flower Guild cordially invites anyone interested to join us. You do not have to be a skilled floral arranger to be part of the Flower Guild. The only requirement is a desire to honor the Lord with your time and talents. Each week we make sure there are arrangements under the cross and in the Narthex. We also decorate the church at Christmas, Easter, and other special occasions. Our goal is to enhance the worship of the Lord through the beauty He created. For more information, call Janie Henderson: 993-3043 or 841-0271.s

Annual Spring Food Drive: This year, as in previous years, the Food Pantry needs donations of both food and money. Food suggestions are: cereal, powdered milk, Bisquick, syrup, canned meats, spaghetti sauce, canned fruits, peanut butter, pudding mix and Jello. Drop-off boxes will be located at the bottom of the stairs near the Fellowship Hall. Thank you for helping us feed the hungry in Lynchburg!
