We will still have our annual Walking with the Palms. The kiddos will line up in the children's wing and be given a palm to walk with during the processional. This is optional. After the child walks through they will return to sit with their parents. This will be an option during both services. Also on March 25, we will be holding our annual Easter Egg Hunt! The kids have a lot of fun with this event. The event will take place outside between services (10:00-10:25). Please remember to bring your Easter baskets!

Calling all Elkhorn Hills Ladies
Please Join Us for Elkhorn Hill’s first ever Favorite Things Party!
What is a Favorite Things Party? - It’s an opportunity to get better acquainted with other women from the
church and find those with whom you have things in common.
Sounds Good, what do I need to do? – Bring either a favorite appetizer or a favorite dessert to share. Coffee,
ice tea, etc. will be provided.
Then, think of one of your favorite things in the $10 price range…..this could be your favorite chocolate, a
lotion that you love, a special candle, that small kitchen essential you can’t live without, etc. Purchase 2 of your
favorite things (two of the same thing) and bring them to the party (no need to wrap them). At the party, you’ll
have a chance to explain why you like your item. We’ll be drawing names and everyone will go home with 2
new favorite things! It’s fun and everyone is sure to have a good time.
