Have you heard the good news? These children at the Solid Rock Church in Napoleon sure have! After their breakfast on Saturday, March 28, the children sat down for a story time with Lindsay Elston to learn about why people celebrate Easter. This allowed a short break for volunteers of the church to hide some colorful Easter eggs.

On Palm Sunday, March 29, every family at the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Napoleon was blessed with the talent of the Sewing Circle’s handmade bunnies. These handsewn pieces of art are pictured above with Sandra (Comer) Bowlus of Osgood, who is part of the ladies group. They had 55 bunnies ready for Sunday. This group keeps busy all year along making specialty treats for not only members of the St. Lutheran Church in Napoleon, but many throughout the community and beyond. They are known for making clothing that goes in the hundreds of Samaritan’s Purse Shoebox effort at Christmastime.
