Greetings JCC friends and family,
It’s hard to believe that April is almost gone. It began with a wonderful Easter celebration together on April 1st. Below is our annual church photo taken after our worship time.
On that day we also held a special 1-day diaper drive for a donation to the Food Bank @ St. Mary’s… as they are always in need of diapers. We were able to gather 1,398 diapers that day. The donation was MUCH appreciated by the Food Bank. Thanks Sue for spearheading this effort…. and for all of you that donated diapers!
Here are a few details and dates to keep in mind for the month of May! Please take special notice of our church retreat planned for Saturday, May 19th, at Hood Canal (Peter & Joyce’s place).

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Grace & Peace,
Pastor Tim
