Interested donors can make an appointment to give blood any time between 2-7 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Why should you donate? According to the Red Cross: Someone needs blood every two seconds. Each day more than 30,000 units of red blood cells are needed in our country. If you donate blood Thursday, you will be among the more than six million people who donate each year in our country. Call 800-RED-CROSS to make an appointment, or go online at redcrossblood.org and enter “fbkennett.” Cymbal-ic upgrades Give blood this week One of our music ministry goals for this year is to invest in improving our musical equipment — as a part of our overall belief that worship takes work and effort. To that end drummer Nick Goble and I spent a few hours at Guitar Center picking out new drum heads, the gently used and better quality cym- bals, and little things like hardware and guitar picks. These upgrades will make a noticeable difference in sound!
