Amigo Centre Needs Your Help – Amigo Centre is having a woodcutting day on Apr. 24 starting at 9:00 AM (MI time). Please bring your own saws. Amigo will provide a lunch for you plus gas and oil for your saws. If you have a wood splitter or pickup that they could use, that would be helpful.
Greg & Carolyn Gautsche are grandparents again! Kevin & Tangi Rumsey welcomed Alden Matthew into their family on 04/04/04. He weighed 8 lb 1 oz and was 19 ½ inches long. Great-grandparents Delmar & Donna Gautsche and Dave & Bertha Bontrager are very thankful for the safe arrival of yet another precious gift from God.
Do you have plans for April 23-25? Due to unexpected openings, Amigo Centre is offering a low-cost weekend of relaxation and retreat perfect for individuals, families, small groups, and Sunday School classes. For more information, check the west bulletin board or call Amigo at 651-2811.
