CAMP NEW HAPPENINGS SUNDAY IS TODAY. There are special envelopes in the pew card holders for your support of this ministry. The mission of the camp, sponsored by the Diocese of Northern Indiana, is to provide pre-teen children of prisoners an opportunity to experience God’s gifts of nature, kindness, and togetherness by sharing hopes and dreams within a positive camping experience. Fr. Layden will be the camp chaplain this year.

LENTEN FISH FRY Saint Alban’s Youth are hosting a fish fry on Sunday, March 30 at 6:00 p.m. Come and help us raise money to go to camp. Cost for dinner will be $8.00 for adults, $4.00 for children 4-12, and free for age 3 and under. Tickets will be sold every Sunday starting March 2, in between the services and after the 10:15 service. If you can’t attend the dinner remember we always accept contributions in any amount. If you have any questions regarding the dinner or any other youth event please see Cindy Spice.
KROGER CARDS Do you shop at Kroger’s or Scott’s? If so, there is a very simple way to provide funds for St. Alban’s. Simply sign the poster on the bulletin board by March 30, indicating that you would like to purchase a $5 gift card. Then reload that card at the customer service desk at the store where you shop. Each time the St. Alban’s account reaches $1,000, we get a 3% rebate check. Many of you have credit cards which generate points for you. If you reload using your credit card, you get points for that and the church gets credit for the reload amount.

LENTEN COIN FOLDERS AND MITE BOXES are available in the narthex. Proceeds from Mite Boxes will be used to support Charis House, a place for women and children experiencing a homeless crisis. Proceeds from Lenten Folders will be sent to The American Friends of the Diocese of Jerusalem.
