Easter Brunch: Annaka Thibodeaux is coordinating this year’s Easter Brunch which will be held at 9 am on Sunday, March 31st. We need your help to make this event a success. You can sign up to bring food items requested and/or help tasks we need assistance with using the link in the Needs Request that was emailed to you or by using this link (Note: You will need to be signed into your CCB Account). If you have any questions, please contact Annaka by email at Annaka.thibodeaux@gmail.com or on her cell (206-678-3437).

Easter Bunny Helpers Needed: Release your inner child and help out the Easter Bunny. Following the 10:30 am Easter Sunday service, we will hold an egg hunt on the grounds for children. Carrie Bowen has agreed to coordinate. She will fill some eggs, but if you would like to help, plastic eggs and bags to take home will be in the back of the church, starting today, Sunday, March 10th. Take as many eggs as you like, fill them with wrapped candy, stickers, or small trinkets, and bring them back to the back of the church by Good Friday, March 29th. The Easter Bunny will hide the eggs in time for an after-church hunt. If you would like to help hide eggs at 8:00 am March 31st or have questions, contact Carrie Bowen at 360.556.5363 (text or call).
