WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Purchase Easter Lilies for Easter Sunday
Help us to decorate the sanctuary for Easter Sunday and honor loved ones at the same time by purchasing an Easter Lily for Easter Sunday Worship on April 9. Each lily is $12 and you can choose to honor a living loved one or memorialize someone who has passed away. Please place your order and payment in the offering plate or send it to the church office. The deadline for orders is Monday, April 3. Order forms are available at each entrance, and online at clearviewumc.org/signup.
Easter Egg Hunt Update - Apr. 8, 9-11 a.m.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of all of Clearview, we have plenty of eggs and candy. Thank you! Now your Easter Egg Hunt team would like to ask you to volunteer to help with the hunt on the 8th. At 7 am we need help setting up tables & chairs, a small fenced area for the itty-bitty children, set up games & craft tables and hide 100s of Easter eggs. If 7 am is too early for you we will need helpers at 8:45-11 to supervise the games and a volunteer at each of the five craft tables, and helpers to watch over the egg hunt. And at 11 we'll need help taking it all down. Thank you so much! Please see or call Judy Tenison.
The Resignation of Samantha Kling
Recently SPRC Liaison, Jon Rowe, shared that Samantha Kling has resigned as our Director of Programs effective April 30. Sam will certainly be missed as she is an amazingly talented leader and a fantastic person. Please take some time between now and April 30 to share with Sam what she means to you and how she has influenced your life in Christ. We plan to celebrate Sam, Mike, and Robin on April 30, both during and after worship. Please stay tuned for more information on this special day.
In the meantime, the Church Leadership Team will be working to discern the next faithful steps related to staffing. We believe some tasks will be absorbed by current staff, some by volunteers, and some by additional staff. Please pray for this transition, so it is smooth for both the Kling family and Clearview. Sam, thank you for your dedicated service to Christ through Clearview
