ANNOUNCEMENTS
Food donations
during June will go to the Keystone Place.
The WMS
monthly meeting is Thursday. Gerri
Schwartz is in charge of the kitchen and Chris Oswald will have devotions. The project is cash for sewing kits for MCC.
The WMS
project for June is sewing kits for MCC.
These kits give families tools for self-help and also a possible means
of income. Because we can buy supplies
wholesale, each kit costs about $25. We
would like to make 50 kits. There will
be a special offering today for this project.
Or you can designate through the regular offering. Thanks for your help.
All
nominations for church offices were affirmed as were the three nominations for
the Elder lot selection.
Mennonite Mission
Network wants to thank us for our gift of $7,400.00 in 2020. Your gifts allow them to bring inspiration to
the churches around the world.
If you have a
prayer concern that you would like to have shared with the congregation, please
give that to Pastor Matt or the worship leader prior to the service. Give them
your name and the request and pastor or whomever is praying for prayer concerns
will share the concern with the congregation rather than pass the microphone.
There
will be no Sunday school on the 4thof July. The worship service will
begin at 10:30 AM with coffee before.
If
you have musical abilities, vocal or instrumental, that you would be willing to
share with the congregation, please let Pastor Matt, Gerri, Kim or Katrina
know.
The
next Blood Drive is scheduled for July 12.
