| Domino Club Every Friday we will be having our Domino Club at the church in the Cook Room at 1:00pm (please note this is a different time than previously announced). If you have dominoes you are invited to bring them with you. All are invited. Please come and enjoy the fellowship, and bring your friends.

| Coupons We have coupons available in the narthex for all to look through and take what they need. They are divided up by categories. Also, if you receive coupons in the paper or mail that you will not be using, please bring them to the church so that others might be able to use them. |
| Upper Room News We have reduced the number of Upper Rooms we will be getting each month, and will no longer get the Teen Devo or Alive Now devotionals starting in March. We ask for all those who take a devotional to please donate the amount it costs us. Each large upper room cost $1.36 and each small one is $.95. |
| Important Church Changes As you know, we have been working on plans to merge the two churches, Northern Boulevard and Glenwood Park United Methodist Churches. As a step in this process, the Conference has “yoked” the two churches together. Rev. Sarah Wimberley will be the pastor for both churches. What this means is that each church, still an entity of itself, will have a half-time pastor. A few changes will need to be made. One is the weekend schedule, at both churches. For Northern Boulevard, the Sunday morning schedule will be Sunday School at 9:30am and worship at 10:45am. This will take effect in July. The Saturday evening service will continue as it is at 5:30pm. July 4th will be Rev. Sarah’s first Sunday in the Northern Boulevard pulpit. Revs. Sally and Randy have been appointed to the First United Methodist Church of Braymer and Breckinridge United Methodist Church, and Hale United Methodist Church, respectively. They have enjoyed serving here, and wish everyone well, as all these changes take place. |
