There’s a new playground set coming in the spring so we’re having a Silent Auction for the old swing set, slide and climbing set. Anyone who wants to bid on it, please see Mark Schrock. Bids will end on April 3 and the winning bidder needs to remove the equipment by April 18.
The lot for Elder selection will be on April 17.
The trustees are looking for someone to volunteer to mow lawn here at the church this summer. Let one of the trustees (Dennis Bontrager, Glenn Miller, and Charlie Patrick) know if you are interested. Thanks to Erv & Phyllis Wickey for doing such a fine job last summer!
Remember to bring your staple food supplies next Sunday for Keystone Place.
ANNOUNCEMENTS, cont.
“We want to thank you for your generosity and care. God did a miracle through you to help many children to get to know Him. We wish you could be there to witness God’s work and kid’s joy. With your offering we can now prepare the camp so that many more teenagers and youth will get to know the Lord. May the Lord bless you for your kindness. We will send you pictures of our camps to share this blessing and joy with you. Thanks again.” ~ Yura & Olga Syrtmach
