Announcements from March 25th Bulletin

Update: Bone Marrow Drive for Abigail Morgan
The bone marrow drive for Abigail Morgan has been postponed. Praise God for the perfect match that was found for Abigail. We may plan to have a drive in the future, so please stay posted.

April 21: Father/Son Pinewood Derby
On Saturday, April 21 at 2:00 p.m. CTW will be hosting a pinewood derby at the Dominguez barn. Pinewood kits are available in the Narthex, and we ask that sons (not fathers) do most of the work on the cars. Of course, fathers will need to do some of the trickier work, but we hope each of the cars will have been mostly built by our young men. If you have friends or family members you believe would like to participate, feel free to invite them. More information will be coming soon. Stay tuned!

Help with Home Repairs
The deacons would like to facilitate home repairs for those who have a need and are unable to meet it themselves. If you have such a need and would like the deacons to facilitate help, please contact Fred Walls or fill out the Connections Card, specifying “home repairs” in the “Others (specify)” box.

June 21-24: CTW Family Camping Trip
Mark your calendars now for the Christ the Word Family Camping Trip at East Harbor State Park. The church has reserved 48 sites in the group camping area from Thursday, June 21 through Sunday, June 24. We will begin taking reservations in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please see Mike Ahrendt with any questions.

Easter Sunrise Service
The Living Word Youth would like to invite everyone to an Easter sunrise service on Sunday, April 8 at 7:30 a.m. at Tony & Sally Sylvester’s home in the Lost Peninsula. This is the same location as last year’s Sunrise service. The address is 6639 Edgewater Dr. in Erie, MI 48133. We hope to see you there!

Easter Sunday Nursery
Nursery volunteers are needed for the Easter Sunday (April 8) worship service (there is no Sunday school). Please see Marcia James if you are able to help.

Choir Singers
We are once again inviting singers to join our choir for the Easter morning service on April 8. Rehearsals will be held following the morning services today. If you are interested, please meet this morning after the service in the fellowship hall.

Garbage, Recycling, Windmills, and Homeschoolers
On Thursday, April 12th, come find out what happens to your garbage! Get a close up look at the BG Windfarm, tour the landfill, and find out how the recycling process works. We will be meeting at the Wood County Landfill at 8:45 a.m. (off Hwy. 6 in Bowling Green) to tour the three facilities. The tour will last until lunch time. There is limited space availability, so please contact Rhonda Heyerly A.S.A.P. at 419-822-0132 to make your reservation.

Kits for Camichines
We are collecting hygiene items for the people and children of Camichines Mexico. NOTE: Thanks to ISOH/Impact we now have 1000 bars of soap so take that off your list to gather. There are bins in the narthex for you to place your toothpaste, toothbrushes, nail files, combs and washcloths. Support your mission team and especially the people to whom they will minister God’s love.

Upcoming Homeschool Activities
• On Friday, March 30 homeschoolers are invited to ice skate at the B.G. Ice Arena from 12:00 - 2:00. Cost is $2.50 plus $1 - $2 for skate rental.
• On Thursday, April 12 homeschoolers will meet at the Wood County Landfill from 8:45 until 12. Please see the announcement earlier in this bulletin.

Pictorial Directory “Not Available” Pictures
If you were not able to get your picture taken for our picture directory and would like a family picture included on the “Not Available Page” of the directory there are two options available. Jennifer Clark will be available immediately after the worship service this morning to take a photo of your family. Please meet just outside the front doors by the narthex. If you already have a family photo, please turn it in to Jennifer Clark or Rhonda Heyerly no later than Sunday, March 25th. A snapshot is fine. It can be no larger than a 4x6. If it was professionally taken by someone other than Olan Mills, we must have a copyright release. Thank you!!

Volunteer to Write About a CTW Missionary
A good way to learn about a CTW missionary is to read about them, but a great way to get to know them is to contact them yourself and learn first hand from them about their experiences in the mission field and beyond. Then if you want to share what you have discovered with others you are greatly encouraged to write about them. This would enable everyone to know the CTW missionaries better. If you would like more information or this is of interest to you please contact Scott Killy or Michelle Holder.

CTW Cookbook
Only 29 days left to submit recipes for inculsion in cookbook! Deadline for recipes is April 23rd. Submit them to: Elizabeth Bayly, Ashley Forney, or Lynnette Killy at lynnettek@sbcglobal.net. Thank you.
