Announcements
Today we will be observing a couple of aspects of the Jewish holiday of Purim, based on the book of Esther. Ian and Teagen Bolin will be presenting a dramatic sketch during Sunday school and the worship hour; and a filled cookie in the shape of a 3-cornered hat called “Hamantaschen” will be offered at the fellowship lunch.
