Join us on Monday, March 16th at NOON
at the BAR BISTRO (1718- 99th St. E.,
Tacoma) as we celebrate our monthly
birthdays with a lunch!
Please note that there will be NO Sunday morning
Ladies’ Bible Study starting March 15 through April
12. We will resume on April 19.
Also, we will not hold Tuesday night Bible Study
during Lent. We would like you to join the
Wednesday night Lenten services in your journey
to Easter.
The Community Garden invites you to
our
Annual Fundraiser Brunch
after service on
March 15, 2020.
Come celebrate with us over last
year's very successful garden
season and help us raise money for
the upcoming season. We have fifty-
two garden beds plus peripheral flower
beds, berry plots and squash
hills. We will once again pay for the
garden's water bill at the end of the
season which is our main expense at
this time. The garden has turned into
such a beautiful part of our church
grounds and provides great food for
those who garden there. For more
information or if you would like to
help with the brunch contact Kris
Nieto. Thank you!
Our Spanaway Lutheran Preschool
is looking for volunteers to spend a
couple hours once a month or
more. Please let us know if you are
interested and please say yes if we
ask you directly.

its grounds sparkle and shine for Holy Week.

We have sent out an email to all folks on our Every
Member Engagement list who indicated they would like to
contribute soup for our Lenten Soup Suppers.
If you have received an email but your interests have
changed, let us know and we will adjust our data
accordingly.
If you haven’t received an email, but would like to
bring soup and/or jam/bread/beverage, please call
the office and we will get you on the list.
If you have been asked to bring soup, but would like
to bring more than once, we can arrange for that!
If you would like to be on “Dish Duty”, please let us
know and we can introduce you to our dishwashing
machine anytime during our regular office hours.
We are praying for…
