Our deep thanks for the life of Charlotte Jones

This great lady, our friend and sister in faith, has completed her baptism, having passed away in the early hours of February 28th.  We give thanks for the life of Charlotte Jones and her constant, generous, warm presence as part of our congregation.  Among her many other acts of generosity, you could always find her at the bazaars, bake sales, Food Closet, and Back-to-School Fairs, as pictured here. Please keep her family and close friends in your prayers.  

The family would like to thank the many friends and neighbors who supported Charlotte in recent years, including Dot McCloy, who quickly became Charlotte’s best church buddy and was always there with humor and whatever was needed.  Neighbors Linda and Jim Kight looked out for Charlotte, provided many meals, and welcomed her into their home after the fire at her own house.  Other concerned and helpful neighbors were Shaun and Mary Ellen, Anna May, and Joan and her daughters, Donna and Janice.  The family also greatly appreciates all the prayers from church members for Charlotte over the years.  

Her memorial service will take place at the church at 11 am on March 14, with visitation beginning at 10 am.  For more of her life story, click here: https://evoyfuneralhome.com/tribute/details/4028/Charlotte-Jones/obituary.html#tribute-start

Bible Study
On Wednesday afternoons in March, our regular Bible study turns to a issue appropriate for the season of Lent, the history, the facts, and the possible Christian response to conditions in Gaza.  Pastor Nicole and Elder Leila Barclay are leading this four-week series together, looking at the history of the conflict,  the question of what the Bible may say about it, and what the Kairos II document urges us to do about it.  Our hope is to shed some light and make some inroads for greater understanding.  Join us at 4 pm in the Fellowship room, March 11, 18, and 25.
