ANNOUNCEMENTS

The church has new email addresses – office@locustgrove.church and matthew@locustgrove.church.

Food donations during April will go to Keystone Place.

The Women’s Mission & Service project for April is sewing kits for Mennonite Central Committee to distribute to ladies in other countries, helping them provide an income for their families.  We have a wholesale place where the contents of a kit can be purchased for approximately $25 and the order has been placed to make up to 50 kits.  If you would like to contribute to this project, do so by designating in your church offering.  Your help is much appreciated!

For the monthly Women’s Mission & Service this Thursday, Joyce Weber is in charge of the kitchen and Gerri Schwartz will have devotions.

The next Red Cross Blood Drive is May 6.  Volunteers are needed to help with registration, give rides to donors if needed, and help with tear down.  There is a signup sheet at the welcome center.

Locust Grove will be hosting the 3Story Experience on Saturday, June 1^st from 9am-1:30pm. This is a free event that looks to develop practical methods of sharing our faith and telling our story to others. Snacks, drinks, and lunch will be provided.
