Mother-Daughter-Sister-Friend Brunch. Mark your calendars to spend time with family and friends.

This year's festivities begin at 9:00 a.m. at The Woman's Club, 410 Oak Grove Street, Minneapolis. The spring theme is "For the Beauty of the Earth." Tickets are $25 for women over 10 and $15 for girls 10 and younger. No individual invitations will be sent this year. The venue change means seating is very limited. All tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will be sold following both morning services April 13 & 20. For more information contact the church office.
