The Women’s Mission & Service project for July is school kits for Mennonite Central Committee.  For the monthly meeting this Thursday, Marjana Tribble will be in charge of the kitchen and Louellen Westover will have devotions.

The total number of products collected at the Blood Drive was 30 (goal was 34).  Rides were given to 7 people.  Thank you to all who helped.

Youth For Christ is collecting new or gently-used items (valued at $25 or more) for their Benefit Auction.  Drop-off and pick-up available.  Contact office@yfccampuslife.com or 269-651-1669.

Everyone is invited to celebrate Greg & Carolyn Gautsche’s 50^th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, July 18 from 2-6:00 PM at the church.  They request no gifts.

LOST – The metal yard stick belonging to the Sewing group is missing.  If you find it, please give it to Martha Franz.

If you borrow a roaster from the church kitchen, DO NOT use plastic liners (or any other kind of liner) when cooking with them.  The plastic gets hot and sticks to the inside of the roaster and ruins it.
