THANK YOU

Dear Sonrisers and all of our Central Family,

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all the love and support shown to our family after Bill’s passing. Your presence at the visitation, personal visits, phone calls, sweet cards, beautiful flowers and generous donations of food show us in so many tangible ways how much we are loved and have been blessed to be a part of this community. Bill missed seeing you as much in person these past couple of years, but please know how much he loved and appreciated all of you and was thankful that we could keep in touch through the Sunday streaming service. I am and will continue to be grateful for all the support that you have shown to me through this very difficult time.

With love,

Sheril Townsley

EASTER GATHERING

The Timberland Trace LIFE Talk has celebrated Easter together for many years. This year we are celebrating here at the building and would like to invite anyone who would like to join us for an Easter Potluck. Please bring a dish to share and filled eggs if you would like for your kids to join in on an egg hunt. Our kids who are "too old" for the egg hunt usually play board games so if that is more your speed come join them. This has become a favorite annual event for us, and we would like to share it with the rest of our family.

12:00 – 5:00 pm

If you have any questions please contact: Suzie Nance, Brenda Wade or Carrie Wisehart.

3.      Praise and Worship Gathering (Room 200; Coordinators: Daniel Alavi, Gerry Binford, and Rodney Keeton)

An optional gathering began Wednesday, April 6^th, during the 7:00 pm class time. This gathering is intended to be both outreach and encouragement focused. It is designed to reach new members, “Covid” displaced members, visitors, and anyone seeking a time of praise and worship on a Wednesday evening. In an effort to be sensitive to younger families who cannot stay late on Wednesdays, this gathering will start promptly at 7:00 pm and finish at 7:30 pm. Anyone wishing to stay until 8:00 pm can do so and fellowship with one another. During this time, there will be singing, prayer and Scripture reading centered around spiritual disciplines. All are welcome to attend! If you already attend a Bible class or small group on Wednesday evenings, please continue to do so! If not, feel free to join us in Room 200.
