ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during April will go to the Keystone Place.

The church door locks have been re-keyed.  Some of the old keys still work.  Some don’t.  Please check yours and if you need a new one, see Beth Miller.  The same key will now work on both the east and west sides.

The Church Care Oversight Team is looking for volunteers to assist with needs within our congregation.  We would like to establish a pool of individuals willing to fulfill the needs as they arise.  We will have sign-up lists located outside the sanctuary in the foyer area for the following:  meals, transportation, and outside work or lawn care.  A team member will be available to answer your questions.

The Women’s Mission & Service project for April is sewing kits for Mennonite Central Committee.  Items to make 30 kits have been ordered wholesale for $40 a kit.  Your designation through the church offering to help cover this cost would be much appreciated.

For the Women’s Mission & Service meeting Thursday, Louellen Westover will be in charge of the kitchen and Martha Franz will have devotions.

The next fundraiser happening for Loved First is the Golf Scramble, May 9 at Sauganash Country Club in Three Rivers.  All golfers are invited to participate!  Team and hole sponsors are needed.  Sign up forms for teams, hole sponsors, and volunteers to help are at the Welcome Center.  A meal will be provided.

The next Women’s Fellowship night will be April 22 (note the date change) at 6:00 PM.  It will be “Worship Night”.  There will be a salad and dessert bar.  A list of dressings and salad toppers needed will be provided for you to sign up to bring.  Or you can bring a dessert if you prefer.  Sign up online or at the Welcome Center. 

The next Red Cross Blood Drive is May 4.
