Fastnacht
Feb 19 after 10:15 Worship
Join us after service for a fun filled afternoon as we celebrate Fastnacht. This year’s activities include a scavenger hunt in the town of Moorestown. The event will conclude with a meal of pizza with donuts for dessert. There will be signup sheets to create teams. The teams will take pictures or videos as they find the scavenger items. The pictures/videos will be shared as we join in our meal of pizza. We are looking for folks who have room in their cars for other participants to join their team.

We are excited to have a breakfast once again during the Easter season. The big change is that we are having it on Palm Sunday. We hope this will allow folks who have been too busy on Easter Sunday to attend. We are blessed to have Kim and Joe Villani agree to lead this wonderful event. Please watch for details in upcoming Messengers and e-blasts.
