The Women’s Mission & Service project for April is sewing kit items for Mennonite Central Committee.  The WMS buys the sewing kit items wholesale.  Each kit costs approximately $35.  You may help with this project by designations through your church offering.  

The Youth Group is once again asking for food for our Sunday evening meetings.  This doesn’t have to be a full meal, although they love those!  Anything is greatly appreciated.  There is a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center.  Thanks again from our youth for your continued support.

Women’s Fellowship – April 22, 6:00 PM – We will have a Worship Evening.  There will be a potato bar.  Potatoes will be provided and there will be a sign-up sheet for the toppings.  Please sign up online or at the Welcome Center by today.

The next Blood Drive is scheduled for May 5. There is a signup sheet at the welcome center where you can volunteer to help with registration, driving, or tear down.  If you want to donate blood, call the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.

Bill & Janell Lederman would like to thank everyone who generously donated medicine bottles for their upcoming trip to Honduras.  They have received enough!  There will be more opportunities to donate as a list will be posted in May.
