March Benevolence

One Great Hour of Sharing

*******************************************

Once every sixth week, a group from our church (15-20 people) takes a
 turn preparing and serving dinner for the 60-70 people
 who attend the Community Dinner in Bedford.  The dinners are
 prepared and served by different local churches each Tuesday
evening from 5:30-6:30 at Trinity Lutheran Church
 in Bedford.  The dinner is free and everyone is welcome. 
 More helpers are always welcome, too!
  Please see Jane Black or Lill Renk to volunteer.

Featured Poem

The Season Called Spring


The time of year that pleases the eyes and nose;
The budding of the trees, the fragrance of a rose.
A ray of sunshine, a drop of dew;
The grass so green, the sky so blue.
A gentle breeze, the chirping of a bird;
So many beginnings can be felt and heard.
These are the signs that spring is here;
A time of memories that we can hold dear.
God is the One who made all things.
Let us thank Him for the season called spring.
