The Church Council would like to thank all of you who attended the Annual meeting last Sunday and also, to thank you for those fantastic desserts. As our moderator, Jane Hodge, mentioned, it takes many hands to run First Church. The Council is asking the congregation to consider and attend a committee meeting. This is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with each committee, and their responsibilities, ask questions, so you can make an informed decision on which committee is the best fit for you to volunteer on. It is essential that we all work together to make our Church First Church the Beacon of the Pembroke Community. Below you will find a list of March s meetings. Thank you for your time, The Church Council
