ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during August will go to Keystone Place.

The WMS project for August is school kits for MCC.

We will be having Sunday school next Sunday, Sept. 4.

The proposed church budget for 2022-23 was in your mailboxes last Sunday.  The vote will be Sept. 4 during the morning service.  If you have any questions, talk to Brian (Teresa) Troyer.

The next blood drive is September 12.  Volunteers are needed to help with registration, drivers for donors if needed, and tear down.  A sign-up sheet is in the fellowship hall.

Our Praise Team will be singing at the county fair on Sept. 18 at 4:00 PM.

The Life & Nurture Commission is putting together a kitchen committee for the upcoming year. If you are interested, please reach out to a member of the commission (see member list below). Kitchen Committee does take some effort and availability, so ideally, we are looking for a couple different volunteer types. One would be a larger commitment of being more of a leader/coordinator in the role. The other would be more of a "willing helper, " who may not have flexible availability but is willing to be on a list for the coordinator(s) to call on from time to time as the need arises. Our intention is that "many hands make light work."  Thank you!  The Life and Nurture Commission - Darin King, Beth Miller, Leroy Hochstetler, Louellen Westover
