ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during May will go to the Salvation Army.

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

LG Kids will be hosting “Muffins with Mom” for Mother’s Day.  Next Sunday, May 10 at 9:30 AM, all kids and their moms or grandmothers are invited to the lower level in the LG Kids department where there will be muffins, a craft, and time for you to see how God is working in the hearts of our kids! We hope you can join us!

The Women’s Mission & Service project for May is baby bottles for the Sturgis Pregnancy & Family Resource Center (formerly Sturgis Pregnancy Helpline).  This is a faith-based pro-life organization that ministers to the needs of all families.  Baby bottles are available at the east door and the welcome center.  Take a bottle home and fill it with change, paper money, or checks (made out to the Family Resource Center).  Return the filled bottle to the mission counter in the fellowship hall by the end of the month.  Donations may also be given on-line.  Information for this is on the baby bottle insert.  See Louellen Westover if you have questions.

This Saturday, May 9, is the first Loved First Golf Scramble at Sauganash Country Club in Three Rivers.  Check-in time is 9:15 AM. They still need helpers!  A sign-up list is at the Welcome Center.

The next Women’s Fellowship event will be a Cemetery Ancestry Tour on May 12 at 6:00 PM.  Bring a favorite family dish to share.

Congratulations to 2 “young” couples who recently celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss!  May God grant Greg & Carolyn Gautsche and Gary & Kay Large many more happy years together!
