May 2: Joint Prayer Meeting With Christian Fellowship
On Wednesday, May 2 we will join with Christian Fellowship to participate in the National Day of Prayer. Beginning at 6:00 p.m. we will enjoy a potluck dinner (please bring a main course casserole and/or a dessert or salad). At 7:00 we will begin a service of prayer.

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. If you need a kit, please contact Steve Altman.

CTW Co-Ed Softball Team Sign-Up
After a five year hiatus, CTW is putting together another softball team. This time the team will be coed and will compete in the upper division of the WPOS softball league. Games are likely to be on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays and will be played at WPOS Christian Center located on Angola Rd in Holland OH. Consider using your softball skills to compete this season and sign-up in the Narthex immediately following worship. Please contact Mario Dominguez with any questions you might have.
