April is hospitality month at CMC. Spring is around the corner, picnics, ice cream, getting together. Take a moment in April and think about people at church you have wanted to get together with or get to know better and take the plunge and invite them for a meal, a potluck at your house, bowling together, hiking. - from Board of Elders.
