Everyone is welcome to attend the Linden United Methodist Church Easter Sunrise Services on Sunday, April 5 at 7:30 a.m. Doughnuts, coffee and juice will be served following the services. Please note that there “will not” be a 10:30 am service.

On Saturday, the Kountry Kousins 4-H Club delivered Easter goodies in our Village. This group took the time to make a variety of cookies, tea biscuits, muffins and delicious chicken noodle soup. It was nice to see Ella and Carmen Parish with their dad, Matt when they stopped by my place. A big “thank you” to Bennett, Carmen, Easton, Ella, Mackenzie and Oliver for being so kind and thoughtful. Happy Easter to each of you and your leaders.
