EASTER BASKET THANKS
Thank you so much for your very generous contributions to the Easter Basket project! We filled 15 baskets with candy, toys, and books for MATS and SFTS. And we provided lots of candy and empty plastic eggs so that the moms at New Life Home can make baskets or have egg hunts for their children. We pray that these gifts will bring joy to these families and that they will know God’s love through our actions.

NEW HIRE – WELCOME
The church has just hired Ian Melewski as part-time technical assistant to help Hiel Lindquist with the production and live-streaming of church services. Ian will be filling in while Hiel and Susan take a well-earned break starting mid-April. He will be on call for occasional work thereafter.
Ian is a senior at Franklin Pierce who’s about to finish a degree in Sports Media. He has extensive experience in videography and live-streaming at Franklin Pierce and on other assignments.
Please welcome Ian when your path crosses his at church.

Due to a bunch of family obligations and mission work on Easter Sunday, the weekly
Sunday ZOOM Fellowship Hour at 1 PM will be cancelled. We hope you’re able to have
some face to face fellowship at the 6 AM Sunrise Service earlier in the day at Cathedral
of the Pines! Get outside and hunt some Easter eggs! Drop by Peterborough UMC
and place some springtime blooms in the “He is Risen” Cross at the front of the church
! Take a nice walk in the Monadnock Springtime to celebrate nature reborn and
popping up everywhere you look!
Happy Easter to all!

MONADNOCK HUNGER WALK – Virtual Walk – April1st – May 1st, 2021
Want to walk for hunger relief this year? Grab a friend and take a walk … 2-3 miles is
recommended … call a few of your friends and family members to support you with
pledges to their favorite food pantries or anti-hunger programs. Have them send their
check donations with a memo line entry – ‘Monadnock Hunger Walk’. Take your walk
and then, go home to download a few picture or selfies of you on your walk. Send the
photos to Hiel or Susan Lindquist and then celebrate being a food warrior!
See the FB link below to explore and find documents that help you give family and
friends addresses of most area food pantries and programs, list your sponsors so you
know who you’ve contacted and who needs a quick call. The FB page makes things
pretty easy for you … does everything but lace up your walking shoes! See you on the
rail trail!
