ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during May will go to the Salvation Army.

The WMS project for May is baby bottles for Sturgis Pregnancy Helpline.  Pregnancy Helpline is a non-profit, faith-based pro-life organization that ministers to area families. Pick up a baby bottle from the credenza at the back of the church and put your pocket change in it during the month of May. At the end of the month or when it is full, return the bottle and the money will be given to Pregnancy Helpline. Paper money and checks are also welcome.

It's that time again to check out your church directory.  Does your page need to be updated or do you need a page?  If you need any changes made in the directory, let Rin Bontrager know by the end of June.

“Please join us on June 4, any time from 12:30 to 3:30, for an open house for Evan Litwiller to celebrate his high school graduation.” – Angie & Brad Litwiller
