Stock the Little Free Pantry Competition The BLACK TEAM has come back! The Gold Team pulled ahead two short weeks ago, and this week the Black Team fought back! This Sunday, Easter Day is the LAST CHANCE you have to donate and win points for your team! The Black Team currently beats the Gold team by 8 items. If you are a musician or sit on the the Narthex side on the church, you are on the GOLD team. Everyone else on the Jena St. side of the church, you are on the BLACK team. Which team is the most generous? Also, there are 37 items that were left on the pew in the hallway last week in brown paper Robert's bags with no team indicated. Did you leave them? (Be honest, God knows.) If so, let Karen know so your team gets credit! Father Duane Out of Office Fr. Duane will be off from Monday, April 2-Saturday, April 7.
