Looking for a good day tomorrow. Sunday morning's sermon will be about "Letting Our Children Know They Are Important." Some children get all the encouragement and self-esteem boosting they need; others are sorely lacking. We'll talk about a "fair and balanced" approach to this important part of parenting.
Plan to come back Sunday night at 6 p.m. as we continue looking at the book of Joshua through 21st century eyes. This week we're studying "The Marker of Misunderstanding" from Joshua 22. It's so easy to misunderstand and jump to the wrong conclusion even when others have the best of intentions. That kind of thing almost led to war among the tribes of Israel in Joshua's day. Sunday night, we'll learn some principles from Joshua 22 to help us avoid the same kind of mistakes.
Other notes:
Several of our young people and children will be away tomorrow attending the Leadership Training for Christ convention.
May Potluck Lunch will be in two weeks, on the first Sunday in May (due to Mother's Day on the second Sunday).
Andy Adams is interested in forming a bowling league. Competition starts May 12 at the bowling lanes in Mount Vernon. See Andy for more information.
The church bulletin is online from the link at the church's web site. Go to www.skagitvalleychurch.org and click the link to the weekly bulletin. Often, it is published on the web site before Sunday services, so you can get a sneak peak at the bulletin that will be handed out Sunday.

Sunny Sunday
Eighty-six were present Sunday morning as we had a beautiful sunny spring day to worship the Lord. It was good to have Ken & Tami Beach back visiting with us from Iowa.
The afternoon was busy with an Evangelism Team meeting and a baby shower for Crystal Scofield and her new baby. Finally, Sunday night worship capped off the day with a study of Joshua chapter 10 and "The Day the Sun Stood Still."
Remember, no pot luck or afternoon singing next Sunday, but since it is Easter, do invite friends, relatives, and neighbors to come worship with you Sunday morning. Some people are more likely to accept an invitation to church on Easter than any other day of the year. Don't let the day pass without taking advantage of the opportunity to ask someone to come worship with you.

Terrible Tragedy in Binghamton, NY
ABC News is reporting 13 fatalities in a shooting in Binghamton, New York http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=7249853&page=1
Certainly, we should be adding the wounded and the families of the deceased to our prayers this morning.

Changes in Schedule for Easter Sunday
On April 12, we will not have the Second Sunday Potluck Lunch following our morning services. This cancellation is done in recognition of the fact that many of our families will want to have lunch and spend the afternoon with family members. The potluck is cancelled for April rather than rescheduled. Since the 2nd Sunday in May is Mother's Day, we will have to consider reschedulinga change in that date in May as well.
We will also not have the Sunday afternoon Singing that we normally have on the second Sunday of the month. We will, however, have an evening worship (and preaching) service at 6 p.m. on April 12.

Beach Party Saturday :-)
Ken and Tami Beach are coming for a short visit this week to do some maintenance on their house as it still remains up for sale. To assist them in their efforts, any one who is interested and available is invited to a work party to assist them on Saturday, April 4th at their house starting at 10 am. Bring cleaning supplies, yard tools (mowers, weed eaters, pruners, etc), and let's all give them a hand.
Also, since they don't have any furniture or utensils here, let's plan on having a picnic potluck for lunch. Bring all your favorite dishes (both the kind you eat and the kind you eat off of) and we can fellowship while "roughing it".
The Beach Homestead is located at 16104 Mountain View Drive, Mount Vernon.
If you have questions or need directions call Rodney Blunt at 360.757.3608.
Thanks and see you there.

Sunday Notes
Lannix Santos is planning to move to California at the end of March until he can get his job situation worked out. Next Sunday, March 29, we will be having a special collection for Lannix to help cover his expenses related to his trip down there. Please keep Lannix in your prayers as he prepares for this move and that he'll be back with us soon.
Prayer Request from Cathi Adams: "My mother, Ann Dale, had some tests done last week that indicate her cancer has returned to her spine or back. She will have an MRI tomorrow; pray for her to have peace and comfort."
Prayer Request from the Williamsons: "For Robb, Kamalyn, & kids as they travel today from Albuquerque, NM to Dallas."
From Karla Williamson: "For Becky's mom, Alma Jones, who is at Urgent Care this morning, probably to rule out pneumonia and for Billy O'Brient who has colon cancer."
From Lydia Williamson: "Pray for the home school moms and dads."
From John & Trish Gaines: "Our friend Barbara Eggart in Florida has emailed a prayer request that we remember her daughter Connie in Virginia who will be having open-heart surgery tomorrow."
