B-I-N-G-O and P-I-Z-Z-A!
Is there a better combination? Yes, how about playing Bingo and eating Pizza with a bunch of your friends. Sound like fun? Bring your family to church on Saturday, Feb 25th at 6PM and enjoy an evening of Fun Food and Fellowship. Beginning this Sunday, there will be a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the Narthex. Please sign up your family and let me know how many people will be attending. The evening should not cost you any more than $10.00 per family. Hope you can all make it.
