Announcements for April 4, Easter Day

• Thank You
  Thank you to everyone, known and unknown, who has contributed time, talent and care to the parish celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
  
  
• Children’s Easter Egg Hunt
  All children are invited to participate in an Easter egg hunt in front of the church following the 10:00 a.m. service. Bring a basket and join the fun. Thanks to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew for supplying the eggs and Donica Van Voorhees for filling them.
  
  
• From the Kitchen Genie
  Many, many thanks to everyone who is helping keep the kitchen in neat condition. The response for coffee cups was overwhelming. Thank you so much. It would also be helpful if anything you leave in the refrigerator has a note attached so we know what should happen to it. As I write, there are pounds of butter that belongs to someone, large containers of salad dressing that have no date, etc. Please let me know what to do with them. And thanks to a very good suggestion we now have yogurt and some sugarless fruit for anyone that would prefer it to a sweet roll at coffee hour. Audrey Ongman
