Good Morning Palm Springs Presbyterian Church Members and Friends! Today we have a few reminders to highlight: The $10 donations for an Easter lily are being accepted now. Your lily will be displayed on the altar during our Easter Sunday worship in honor of a very special person to you. Our 2021 Annual Congregational Meeting will be held after worship on Sunday, March 21st. This meeting will be held via Zoom from your laptop or telephone, and moderated by Pastor Sally. Please mark your calendars. We would like everyone to attend as there will be several topics we would like to share with you for this year. The 2020 Annual Report will be available shortly before our Congregational Meeting on the 21st. They will be emailed to those of you that receive our mail via email, and sent via US Mail to those of you that do not have an email address. We hope everyone has received their Covid vaccines or scheduled to receive them very soon. Should you need assistance in finding a location administrating the vaccines, please call the office. We have several individuals that are quite knowledgeable on this topic and would be pleased to assist you. A special birthday wish goes out to Sandy Rayner today. Sandy, Happy Birthday! May God bless you with great health and happiness all year long! |

Life of the Church | God You Spin the Whirling Planets | Dirk Voerman |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |
