Making the Most of Your Money -Workshop
Join us at the Bridge Café for a 4-week session entitled “Making the Most of Your Money: an integrated life approach to financial planning.” The workshop is free and will be on Tuesday evenings in March at 7:00. Feel free to come even if you missed some of the sessions.
Together we will dive deep into what money means to you; experiment with a style of budgeting that works for you, and reflect on how your Faith factors into your family’s financial life.
Workshops are led by Dan Rothra and will extend through March 25th. If you can’t make all of the weeks’ discussion, that’s fine – but the more you engage the more you may find your own financial freedom taking shape.
For more information contact Dan Rothra: 919-606-3285
Come to the Table Meal – TUESDAY MEALS AT 6:00 PM
Come to our popular Tuesday evening “Come to the Table” dinners (6 pm)! Enjoy a home-cooked entree, salad and dessert for $4 and meet your neighbors. Why not bring a friend? We’ve started again serving up great meals every Tuesday.
If you’d like to help cook or serve for these events, there’s a sign up sheet in the entrance to the Bridge Café – or speak with Pastor Dan.
Following the meal are free workshops (7-8 pm). They include book clubs, Bible studies, and craft get-togethers. No experience necessary for any of these workshops – all are invited!
Story Weavers Writing Club – Open to All!!
NEW! The Story Weavers Writing Club had its first meeting on Saturday Feb. 8th at the Bridge Café – from 1:00 – 3:00 pm. All are welcome! We want to encourage each other in whatever form of writing we each are excited about: children’s books, novels, articles, poetry, blogs, and more. This will be a fun, relaxed gathering that plans to meet every Saturday. For more information, contact Martha Poehler 919-931-4228 marthapoehler22@gmail.com

If possible, please SIGN UP in the foyer of First Alliance Church so Joan knows how many to expect. For more information contact her at dulcimerdestiny@gmail.com.
March is the time when the sights and sounds of spring come to life. The birds sing and the brooks flow again. In the distance, one can see that the mountains still wear their white winter caps. Close your eyes and form such a picture in your mind. Where did that image come from? Was it attached to a calendar or on your screen saver?
Learn to view the world through your artist eye as we take a nature scene and recreate on your page. Using various media, I will do a demonstration how to do that. I will guide you through the process step by step.
Each class we will explore a new media: Watercolor, Watercolor Pencil, Colored pencil, Chalk or Oil pastel. Each participant is encouraged to bring their own supplies, but it is not mandatory for this class. Watercolor paper, Pastel paper or Multi-media Paper will be used.

Food Pantry in the parking lot of the Bridge Café
Did you know about the Community Food Pantry at 4400 Buffaloe Road? (in parking lot of First Alliance Church). It was started by neighborhood residents Allison & Brandon DeLucca with the help of Dan Rothra, Kent Hoffman and Nora Hoffman (all in the photo) as a service to our neighborhood.
The Pantry is open 24/7 with the motto “Take What You Need – Leave What You Can.” It operates solely on the generosity of the Buffaloe Road community and First Alliance Church.
If you wish to donate non-perishable food or small toiletry items, you can leave them inside the pantry cupboard or deliver to the Bridge Café (entrance to First Alliance Church) Tuesday-Friday (8:30 – 11:30 a.m.) or Sunday (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.)
