We are in need of families from our congregation to host members of the Moody Chorale overnight after their concert at FPC on Monday evening, March 8th.  Hosts must be willing to provide accommodations on Monday night, breakfast on Tuesday morning, a sack lunch for them to take the next day, and transportation back to the church on Tuesday at a time to be determined.  These are good Christian college students, and their needs are small.  They are counting on us to provide housing for them, so we are asking for our congregation’s help to make this happen.  If you can host 2 of these students (or more), please contact Craig Aarhus today at 324-1570 or by email at aarhus@bellsouth.net.
