Pastor’s Notes
Hello!
With a touch of fall in the air it’s time to go back to school. I hope this school year goes well for you and your child.
As we get into fall’s routine, please be sure to make church a part of your schedule. Along with making sure your child is at Kids’ Church, please consider bringing the whole family to Morning Worship each Sunday. We meet for about an hour starting at 11:00 a.m.
We’ll also be having special events throughout the fall. Please watch for more information about them in this newsletter and at the church’s web site (www.pigtownchurch.org).
Thank you for continuing to trust us in helping with the spiritual development of your child. We consider it an honor.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff Anderson

Bible School is August 10 – 13 and our annual school supply distribution is Sunday, August 29. More information about each of these events is in this newsletter.
We’re also excited to welcome friends from Britain to The Power House this month. They’ll be working at all of our activities so stop by and say hello!
I want to thank you again for your continued trust in helping with your child’s spiritual development. It is an honor and a privilege to serve in this way.

Hello!
I hope you were able to dig out of the snow and that life is returning to normal for you. It’s been quite a winter.
Because of the snow we rearranged some of the lessons in February. You may notice that some of the topics listed this month are the same as those listed last month. This is because of the series of storms.
Please be sure to note that during Kids’ Church time on Sunday, March 7, is the annual Community Health Fair run by the University of Maryland School of Nursing. This event is FREE and for the whole family. What a great opportunity to receive free health screenings and advice from health care professionals.
By the end of March we’ll be beginning our Holy Week services in preparation for Easter. Please mark April 4 on your calendar and plan on celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection with us that day.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff Anderson
