Friends,

We’ve had two great weekends at CCOV recently with our successful March 7 “Marti Gras on the Bayou” fundraiser for Foster Your Future and our March 14 joint potluck with Landmark Pentecostal Church.  It warms my heart to see all the life that has recently been breathed into our church campus!  Not only did we raise thousands of dollars to support our upcoming Foster Your Future cooking classes, but we also made new friends with the good people who share our campus with us.  I was pleased to see so many of you come out for both events.  The food, music, and decorations both evenings were all delightful!

Continuing with the spiritually-enriching offerings of our busy season, please mark Good Friday, April 3 at 4 PM on your calendars for our joint service of worship with members of the Church of the Beatitudes.  After a meaningful and reflective service at CCOV, we will head over to George and Sons Asian Cuisine at Frank Lloyd Wright and Via Linda for a fellowship dinner.  If you haven’t already, please let Ida know if you will be joining us for the meal so that I can give George and Sons an accurate count. 

Also, be on the lookout for our summer schedule, which Ida will publish soon.  For those of you who stay in town, we will have plenty of opportunities for worship and being together during the hot months ahead.

Many Blessings!

Co-Pastor Sandi
