| Strickland Memorial Service Planned |
 |
On Saturday, March 6th, a memorial service for Lee Strickland will be held here at 11:00 am. Our church body is invited to share in the celebration of Lee’s life and the offering of love and support for Jean, Kailey, and their family. A near capacity attendance is anticipated and church members are encouraged to park on the grassy field, west of the church, if possible. A reception in the gymnasium will follow the service. Our Sunday School has been asked to take the lead in providing a meal for the reception. Sunday School Directors will share needs with their departments/classes this morning. Please call Mrs. Jennifer Belflower (coordinator for the reception) at 407-644-0951 or the Church Office for more information and/or questions or to volunteer help.

| Sunday School Done Right Update |
| Almost to the finish line! Just two more sessions to go in our current Sunday School Leadership Training Project. We are so grateful and encouraged by the faithful and consistent participation of the majority of our Sunday School Faculty, focusing on the core essentials of an effective Sunday School small group ministry. Be sure to encourage and thank your teachers and directors for the investment of time they are giving in the deepening of their knowledge and understanding of Sunday School Done Right! |
