ANNOUNCEMENTS

For the monthly Women’s Mission & Service meeting this Thursday, Nancy Troyer is in charge of the kitchen and Gerri Schwartz will have devotions.

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. 

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 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.
