There is a ministry for everyone
Thank you to Tom Rusch who played keyboard and accompanied the choir during March. It was a treat to celebrate Women’s Sunday with the trio of Kristin Chowanec, Jennie Ortega, and Juanita Edington, accompanied by Laura Yurs on flute and Tom Rusch on piano. Laura and Tom added another duet in that service. Thanks also to James Ortega, who visited and sang with us later in the month.
Senior Choir-continues to rehearse at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. We rehearse and sing in service almost weekly, but there will be some pre-planned days off. Check weekly announcements for changes to the regular schedule.
During Holy Week, we will sing on Palm Sunday, April 13; Maundy Thursday, April 17 (rehearse 6:25); and Easter Sunday (10:00 service).We can always use additional singers and you do not have to make a weekly commitment to be a part of the choir. High school age and above are welcome. Drop-ins are certainly welcome.

Watertown High School Concert
In our Sanctuary
The Watertown High School Concert and Select Voices Choirs presented their mid-winter concert in our sanctuary on March 18th. It was a wonderful variety of sacred and secular music with spirit, energy, and soloists, including Cooper Wood, who also accompanied one of the Concert Choir pieces.
Social Justice Team
Our Social Justice Team started meeting on March 24th. Our number one concern was "Poverty and Homelessness."
This group determined a feasible goal would be to look into establishing a warming shelter to provide a hospitable place in Watertown for those out in the cold.
* You are invited to the next Social Justice Team meeting on Sunday, March 16th 11:30 a.m. at our church. Contact the church office with questions .

Children Ministry
Sunday School: Preschool through 5th grade
Sundays at 9 a.m.
We have started our Creation unit. We are starting at the beginning and making our way through the Bible. We are taking our time and asking a lot of questions. We always take an opportunity to talk about our week as well. We are making great friendships! I will be having hip replacement surgery on February 5th, so we will not be having Sunday School on Feb 9th or 16. We will see how I am feeling after that! Hopeful for a quick recovery!
Youth Group
I would like to plan a date in March to have a meeting to see if we have interest and availability for Youth Group to start. I will update you after my surgery and recovery with a date!
