biblical sites. The cost will be approximately $3500 (double occupancy) with an additional $900 for the optional 2 day excursion to Petra and Jordan. An informational meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 7 after 6:45

Community Life Opportunities The Community Life Committee is organizing an outing to

Regent University to watch the musical comedy "She Loves Me" on Sunday, April 29, 2018, for the 2:30PM

show. Group rate tickets cost $14.50 per person. The musical takes place in 1930s Budapest where Georg and

Amalia are constantly bickering at the perfume shop where they work. They do not realize that they are each other's

romantic pen pals through the newspaper's personal ads. This is a family friendly show for all audiences over

the age of 5 years. We are also planning a group dinner at Pirate's Cove Restaurant, 6031 High Street W, Portsmouth, following the show, at approximately 5:30PM. Menu items will cost between $9.99 and $32.99. If interested in attending the show, the

dinner, or both, please contact Cindy at cd9923@gmail.com. If interested,

please respond by Monday, March 5, 2018, and leave your name, phone

number or e-mail address, and number of people that will be attending.

With the Easter Season quickly approaching we will be using a different wine for our COMMUNION WINE. If able, please bring in a bottle of the Livingston Chardonnay Wine.
