March Madness Bracket 'Fun'draiser
Join the Mission Committee and the DUCs to raise additional funds for the Heritage Randolph Pantry with a little 'March Madness Bracket Fun-draiser'.  

Our March Madness pool will be run through cbssports.com.  Our Pool Name is Heritage Presbyterian Church, our slogan is 'Playing for the Pantry', and invitation to the pool is by private link.  Players do not need to be members of Heritage Presbyterian Church to participate, although they should have a Heritage connection in some way.  Participation requires a $5 (minimum) donation to the Heritage Pantry for each bracket entered in the pool, and players can submit a maximum of 4 brackets.  Donations can be made in cash equivalents via Venmo or directly to the church, or in the form of grocery gift cards.  Only ‘paid’ members are eligible to be the official winner. 

​Money/payment is due by March 27th (prior to the Sweet 16 round).  Brackets will be available Monday, March 15th.  The tournament begins Thursday, March 18th and ends with the Championship game on Monday, April 5th.  Sign-up is available now and will end once the tournament has started.


Contact Patty Wahlgren with any questions or to sign-up to participate: patricia.wahlgren@gmail.com
Adult Faith Study---Reflecting on Holy Week
Mark your calendars now to join the three session study (online) for the end of Lent.
It is titled Reflecting on Holy Week and will undoubtedly lift our spirits as we enter the end of this sacred season.

We will be glad to send you (now/early) all six sessions to your e-mail if you would like….to add even more meaning to your/this early part of Lent.  Simply be in touch and we will get it to you (assistant@heritagepres.org).  If you prefer, hard copies can be mailed to you.

Fellowship Activities
Being a group that likes to have fun together means we do more than worship together.  Bowling outings, hot dog cookouts, trivia nights, ball games and more are all part of our fellowship and extend our connection beyond the church building.  These activities are open to anyone (not just members!)  View the event calendar or check the current newsletter to see what's planned.    
Chancel & Bell Choir
 If you enjoy music, join one or both of our choirs.  Ability levels vary for both choirs, but if you're worried you can't carry a tune, then the bell choir would be happy to have you!  No prior experience is necessary.  Anyone high school aged and older is welcome to participate in either group.
  • 'Singers' (chancel choir) practice every Wednesday 6:30-7:30 (except during the summer).  
  • 'Ringers' (bell choir) practice schedule varies but usually meets on Wednesday evenings.  Currently meeting at 7:45 on Wednesday evenings.
