**Attention JOY Bunch (Just Older Youth)**

Please join us for a fish fry on Saturday, March 19 at 6 PM in the FLC (gym). The fish will be provided by the Charles Hankins family and prepared by Hankins and Turpins at the building.  We are going to have guests, so please bring a little extra. If you don’t like fish, you may bring another meat dish.  We suggest dishes that complement a fish fry -- such as coleslaw, salad, French fries, hush puppies, and of course, desserts. Should be an evening of great fellowship and great food.

 

**Note of Thanks**

To our West-Ark Church family,

We appreciate so much the beautiful peace lily, the many cards, and kind words spoken to our family during the passing of my brother, Bill.

               In Christian love,

               Robert & Loretta Loudermilk
