ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during April will go to the Keystone Place.

The next Red Cross Blood Drive is May 4.  A sign-up sheet for volunteers is at the welcome center.

The Church Care Oversight Team is looking for volunteers to assist with needs within our congregation.  We would like to establish a pool of individuals willing to fulfill the needs as they arise.  This will be the last day to sign-up on lists located outside the sanctuary in the foyer area for the following:  meals, transportation, and outside work or lawn care.  A team member will be available to answer your questions.

The Women’s Mission & Service project for April is sewing kits for Mennonite Central Committee.  Items to make 30 kits have been ordered wholesale for $40 a kit.  Your designation through the church offering to help cover this cost would be much appreciated.

The next fundraiser happening for Loved First is the 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 for teams, hole sponsors, and volunteers to help are at the Welcome Center.  A meal will be provided.
