THIS SUNDAY AT CREEKSIDE
Pre-Service Prayer
A group gathers in the POD each Sunday morning to pray for Creekside and the Sunday services. Prayer begins between 9:00 and 9:10 AM (and ends in time for the start of the service). Come join the team!
This Week's Message
This week, we continue our sermon series, "Buckets of Grace" ... a series based on the book of Galatians. This week's message is "Be For, Not Before". You can read Galatians 5:25-6:5 to prepare.
No Student Classes
No Girls of Grace and Jr High Discipleship classes this Sunday morning, March 7, so that students can partake in the Communion service.

NEW INFO
March Can Madness
March Can Madness, a fun, competitive food drive for Hopelink, is underway. Ben Wobker of Redmond Physical Therapy came up with the idea of a canned food collection using "brackets," similar to college basketball's March Madness. The tournament starts with 16 businesses, which will vie to see which teams can collect the most food for Hopelink.
So far, 15 businesses have signed up and our very own Jeff Hancock’s family bakery - Hancock’s Bakery is participating!!
Businesses with the greatest amount of food donations will advance to the next bracket. Food will be weighed each Friday of the tournament - March 5, 12, 19, 26 - at the Hopelink Redmond Food Bank.
If you 'can' bring some cans to Hancock Bakery (16150 NE 85th St Ste 105, Redmond - across from the Post Office) today or early Friday. And if they make it to the next round - keep them coming!!
Lunch After Church
New to Creekside? Looking for a way to connect? Got some questions about what Creekside is all about? Just want to hang out with other Creeksiders? If you said "yes," come meet some Creeksiders and staff members and get some lunch at the new Top Foods. Please join us Sunday, March 14, after the service (around 11:30 AM). Questions? Contact Doug (DougH@ecreekside.com).

We meet the 3rd Tuesday of every month at Kari Ferrin's house ... our next meeting is Tuesday, March 16, 9:30-11:00 AM we will discuss Chapters 19-22 of "The Power of a Praying Parent" and decorate shamrock cookies with royal icing.
