Announcements: Second Saturdays: This year, our English Ministry Committee encourages our congregation to look forward to congregation- wide fellowship opportunities each month on Second Saturdays. These events will allow us to meet as a large group during a time when there are not as many smaller-scale activities taking place, such as the biweekly small groups. A typical “Second Saturday” event will be a rotation of Town Halls, Praise & Prayer Nights, and seasonal activities. -Saturday, April 12, 5:00 p.m. - Save the Date for Praise & Prayer Night! -Saturday, May 10, 5:00 p.m. - Save the Date for Potluck and Testimonies! -Saturday, June 14, 5:00 p.m. - Save the Date for Potluck and Games!
