SHORELINE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH A portion of each of our services during the Lenten season will focus on “Freedom from Fear.” Throughout the gospels Jesus tells his followers or those around him, “Do not be afraid.” Yet today, fear plays an enormous part in our lives. May this season be a discovery of fears from which Jesus is releasing us today.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Photos For The Clauses Today & Next Week Dan and Grace would like a head start on putting our names to faces. Continuing today and wrapping up next week, we will have a photo area set up with some fun backdrops and props. Steve DeKoekkoek and Kim Clousing will be ready for your family, group, or individual shots. The photos will be put into an online gallery for all to enjoy. Join the fun and SMILE!
We offer our deepest sympathy to Debbie DeKoekkoek, who lost her father, Wayne Banta. Wayne passed away on March 6, and we pray for the entire family as they work through their grief. While the family will miss him, they are happy that Wayne is now at Home. A memorial service is being planned for Saturday, March 24 at 2:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. Meal Train Needed
Serving Groups Reformed We have reformed the Serving Groups that provide baked goods and help set up, serve, and clean up at certain church events (e.g. memorial services). Please check your mailbox to see the group to which you've been assigned. Contact Carol DeKoekkoek if you are unable to serve at this time.
Martha Reynolds continues to recover from her surgery on the cracked vertebra, and will need plenty of rest in order to recover fully. Please continue to pray for reduced pain for her and patience for her and Herb during this time. If you can support them with a meal please use the following link:
Carpet Anyone? As we prepare the Parsonage for Dan and Grace, the Building Committee wants to offer the removed carpeting —which is still in decent shape (beige and blue colors)—to anyone who might be interested. You may contact Paul DeKoekkoek or Pete Van Dyke for more information.

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
