ANNOUNCEMENTS
Food donations
during April will go to Keystone Place.
There will be a
Love Farewell
for Pastor Bill & Sherry on Apr. 25.
Prior to that we would invite everyone (including children) to be saving
things for a scrapbook page for them. It
can include cards, pictures, or memories (be creative). If you don’t have scrapbook supplies, there
will be some available on Apr. 11 & 18 at the church. Pre-made pages should measure 9.5x12. 8x8 pages will be available for the children
to use.
You will be
asked to submit your suggestions for Elder nominations on Apr. 18. Please let the church office know of any
corrections that need to be made.
We are hoping
to start up primary department Sunday school classes again soon. If you are interested in teaching a class,
please let Cathy Fellers or Katrina Hasbrouck know. Even if you’d only like to do it for a few
months at a time, we are open to that as well.
The MYF
Sunday school class is in need of a teacher/leader beginning the first
Sunday in May. If you are interested or
have any questions, contact Louellen Westover.
The MYF is having an auction
on Saturday, May 8th in the church fellowship hall. Supper
will be at 5:30pm with the auction following. The MYF is looking for
homemade or unique items such as baked goods, home goods, crafts, things unique
to our church, etc. All donations are
greatly appreciated but are not required to attend. If you have an
item/items you’d like to donate or have any questions, please see Adam &
Cathy Fellers, Marcy Bontrager or Doug Hasbrouck. A table will be set up
at the back of the church to display items prior to the night of the
auction. We hope you join us for this evening of fun and fellowship and
to support our church youth!
