Congratulations to more college graduates. Mandy Miller graduated from Goshen College on April 26 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership. And Nick Troyer recently graduated from Hesston College.
The Youth Core is in need of nice things (new or old) to be auctioned off to support their group trip to convention this summer. Please see Adam, Cathy, Ben or Nickie if you have something that you would be willing to donate for them to sell. They will be starting a table in the back of the church so that people can preview the items to be sold.
Don’t forget to bring in your Farm & Ranch, Birds & Blooms, and Country Living and other magazines which have scenery pictures of America. These will go in the Moldovan school bags. Bring your magazines in to the church office. Thanks for your help.
It’s been a year! It’s time to celebrate! Company’s coming! We are planning a noon carry-in dinner to celebrate our one year anniversary on Sunday, May 31. Each of you is to be commended for weekly, monthly, and quarterly contributions to our building fund. Thank you! Each week we see progress on our remodeling project. Thanks to your commitments, we have not had to borrow working funds. Thanks again! – The Stewardship Campaign Team
