ANNOUNCEMENTS
Matt Yoder, our interim pastor, will be starting this
interim role soon. His first Sunday will
be May 9th. In order to get to know him, we will be holding a meet and greet
that morning instead of Sunday School in the fellowship hall. Matt is excited
to be joining us and walking with us as we seek God's direction going forward.
Food donations
during May will go to the Salvation Army.
The MYF Auction will be
Saturday, May 8 in the church fellowship hall. Supper will be at
5:30pm with the auction following. The MYF is looking for homemade
or unique items such as baked goods, home goods, crafts, things unique to our
church, etc. All donations are greatly
appreciated but are not required to attend. If you have an item/items
you’d like to donate or have any questions, please see Adam & Cathy
Fellers, Marcy Bontrager or Doug Hasbrouck. A table is set up at the back
of the church to display items prior to the night of the auction. We hope
you join us for this evening of fun and fellowship and to support our church
youth!
The next blood drive will be
Monday, May 10. Volunteers are needed to help with setup, registration, tear
down and driving donors who may need rides. A sign-up sheet is in the
fellowship hall. If you want to donate blood, call the Red Cross for an

“Thank
you! Thank you! Thank you!
Your gestures of love, words of support, and generosity have been
