Can you help set up at 5:30pm?
Can you bring a pot of soup (here by 6:20)?
Can you help clean up after the 7:15 service?

New Member Dedication - April 13th
We are so grateful to recently receive our new members. If you are considering
membership, the next date we’ll receive new members is April 13th.
Membership orientation will be held after worship today, Sunday, March 30 at
11:30am in BH-5 (Classroom 5 of Benedict Hall, right-hand side in hallway).
If you are curious or if you have questions about membership, please contact
Pastor Ferdie at pastorferdie@fairwoodumc.org.
Look for the brochure in the narthex, “So you’re thinking about joining the Church.”
A decision for membership is always a great time to celebrate our life together as a
church family!
Crop Walk April 27th
Our traditional Renton CROP Walk is coming up, Sunday, April 27, 1:30 – 4:00pm.
Your family can walk, donate and/or help with jobs the day of the walk. Visit the
CROP table in the narthex/entryway to sign up to register as a walker. You can sign
up to help with jobs at the table in the narthex or contact Sharon. People
volunteering can also collect pledges.
Funds that we and other Renton churches raise will support vulnerable people
around the world, as well as feeding programs in our own community.

The “Fairwood Community United Methodist” team is already set up. Join the team
or make a donation!
If you have any questions, please contact Sharon at kenyonjs@comcast.net.
Volunteers Needed For Worship Services
We need more people willing to greet peoples as they enter the main doors into
the narthex (entryway). Offering a friendly smile, offering a bulletin and answering
any basic questions goes a long way to make someone feel welcome.
We also need more people willing to serve the juice during Communion, especially
for the extra services during Holy Week (Maundy Thursday and Easter).
Contact Sharon R. for more information about what’s expected. If you need to get
her contact information, please call the church office on weekday mornings.
