Maybe you have heard about it. Perhaps you have seen it. Karaoke is a fun way for people to share music that they love either singing or lip synching to recorded music with lyrics on a screen. If you would like to perform as an individual or in a group, please let Carolyn know by April 13. Volunteers from the church have already signed up to perform a few songs plus the pre-K 4 students will start the ball rolling with a couple of their own songs. Bring a happy spirit and come join the fun! Menu: Chicken and creamy noodle casserole, peas, spring salad, lemon cake.
April 29 / Bingo
All are invited for some friendly rounds of BINGO while we enjoy fellowship around the table. The competition is friendly and the grace plentiful! Menu: Hamburger steak with grilled onions, baked potatoes, garden salad, strawberry shortcake
