Tuesday is Meeting Day!

Our meeting will again be at Kuyper Collage at 7 p.m.  If you missed last month's meeting a student will most likely be in the Chapel, near the doors to help direct.  Here are the minutes from the meeting:

Becky has a sew-in planned for April 18 at the Rockford Congregational Church. Cost is 10$. We need a minimum of 10 persons to cover the cost of the room fee. Let her know if you will be attending.
