ANNOUNCEMENTS

LG Kids will be hosting “Muffins with Mom” for Mother’s Day.  Today, 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!

You are invited to help Gavan Miller celebrate his high school graduation at an Open House here at Locust Grove on Sunday, May 31 from 2-6:00 PM. 

The church office will be closed Thursday, May 14.  The bulletin will be printed on Tuesday.

Locust Grove softball shirts are available for purchase.  Orders can be placed online directly through Sportsarama now through the end of the day today, May 10, at sportsarama.chipplycom/locustgrove.  Anyone can order a shirt! See Audra Franz with questions.

Please note that the donation of food for local food pantries, previously accepted in the shopping cart outside of the mailroom, has been discontinued for the time being.

The total number of products collected for the Blood Drive was 34.  Thank you to all who helped!

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.

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.
