ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during March will go to the Salvation Army.

The Elder Team is starting the elder selection process by asking for your recommendations for candidates.  Two new Elders will need to be chosen in the lot.  Ballots are in your mailboxes today.  Prayerfully consider the office of church Elder. Complete your ballot by placing a check mark by no more than 5 names of the persons you feel have the gifts to serve as an Elder.  Place your ballot in the box in the mailroom by March 29. 

For the Women’s Mission & Service meeting this Thursday, Rachel Oswald will be in charge of the kitchen and Becky Yoder will have devotions.

The Church Care Oversight Team has developed 2 new resources.  The first is a prayer/needs request card which you will find in your mailbox today.  It can be used to ask for prayer or any need/assistance.  These cards and box will be kept at the Welcome Center.  A Care Team member will follow up.  The second resource is a section of the bulletin board that is devoted to Community resources of any kind: food, mental health, specific aging needs, etc.  If there are any questions, contact Janell Lederman, Stefanie Patrick, Steve Riegsecker or Marilyn Schwartz. 

Loved First is doing a fundraiser, “Buy a Seat at Our Table”, during March & April.  Sign up lists will be located outside the sanctuary in the foyer.  Hosts are encouraged to reach out to friends and neighbors.  Another fundraiser happening will be the Loved First Golf Scramble, May 9 at Sauganash Country Club in Three Rivers.  All golfers are invited to participate!  Team and hole sponsors are needed.  Sign up forms are at the Welcome Center.  A meal will be provided.
