ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during May will go to the Salvation Army.

The Youth Group is once again asking for food for our Sunday evening meetings.  This doesn’t have to be a full meal, although they love those!  Anything is greatly appreciated.  There is a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center.  Thanks again from our youth for your continued support.

The total number of products collected at the Blood Drive was 42.  The next Blood Drive is July 7.

"Loved First" Ministry Garage Sale - Thursday, May 15, 9am-5 pm, Friday, May 16, 9am-5pm and Saturday, May 17, 9am-2 pm.  As you are spring cleaning your houses, barns and sheds, think of this garage sale! We will take all items. These can be dropped off at Bill & Janell Lederman's (1204 S. Lakeview Ave., Sturgis) on Wednesday, May 14th and if they do not sell, can be picked up Saturday after the sale. We will also need helpers for all three days. There is a volunteer sign up list at the Welcome Center. Thanks in advance for all your contributions and help with this project!

Congratulations to our recent college graduates! Collin Keeslar graduated from Michigan State University with a BS in Animal Science; Drew Litwiller graduated from Ball State University with a BS in Sports Administration; Kali Tyler graduated from Trine University with a BS in Elementary Education and Dual Licensure in Special Education.
