👩 Pastor, Parament Quilter to Highlight March Women’s Meeting
The new green paraments in our sanctuary - we will see them again after Pentecost.
On Tuesday, March 12 at noon, the United Women in Faith, formerly the United Methodist Women, will meet at the church.
The guest speaker for March will be Alycia Johnson, the designer and creator of our green paraments that graced our sanctuary during Epiphanytide. If you recongize the name, Alycia was a guest preacher at Mars Hill during Advent 2021.
