Shopping at Kroger Fundraiser

Don’t forget to pick up a UCG Kroger Share Card at the Information Table if you don’t already have one. March 9 - April 6 is our shopping at Kroger fundraiser.

Family Movie Night - March 24

Join the Fun! Today is the last day to sign up for Houston North’s Family Movie Night. Be sure to add your family’s name to the sign-up sheet and cast your vote for your favorite movie. The Sabbath School program will provide cheese pizza ($1.00 per slice), drinks, sodas, and popcorn! Signing up for the event will give us an accurate count so that we have plenty of goodies for everyone.
As you are signing the sign-up sheet, please remember to pick up a payment envelope that you may either put your money in and place in the box on the table or  mail to Richard & Sharon Haughee. (If paying by check, please make checks payable to Richard Haughee.)
If you have already voted for your favorite movie and have chosen “Happy Feet”, please feel free to change your vote today! “Happy Feet” will not be released on video in time for our movie night.
Come one, come all… we hope to see you there!

Teen Unleavened Bread Baking Party - March 31

All teens are asked to participate in an upcoming baking project, which will entail baking unleavened goodies to distribute to those in the congregation who may not have a blessed  cook in the family.
We will be putting together boxes  of salty and sweet treats, but they must first be prepared, baked and  boxed. So even if you don’t cook, there’s still a place for you… and who  knows, you might learn something?! We can either bake independently at home, where recipes will be provided to you in advance; or even more fun — we can bake together the Sabbath  evening of  March 31.

Please sign the list on the Information Table, so we can  count on your  enthusiastic and generous participation.
