What's New?

A Huge Thank You to all the volunteers who have helped to make Palm Saturday and Holy Week happen! This celebration would not be nearly as rich and meaningful without you. I hope we all get a chance to rest during Easter Week! Grace will not be in the office April 22-25, but feel free to email or call if there is an emergency.

Bring Spring Into Your House - Here's a great suggestion from Susan Pawsey.
"Did you know you can take cuttings from forsythia and put them in water in a sunny window and they will flower? I do this every year."
Thanks for the tip Susan!
