This month's Bible verse: "Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm."
~Ephesians 6:13

I thank everyone who gave Acme stickers - we were able to purchase cookware for a needy family. Thank you! Fran Jones
Thanks to everyone who came to support the Africa Mission Trip Brunch last Sunday. The monies raised will make a big difference to Mary and her team, as she travels to work with children with music. If you would still like to contribute, she is leaving early May and checks can be left at the church office.
A big THANK YOU goes out to
all the boys and girls from the 8th grade confirmation class who helped clean
up the outside of the church building on Saturday morning. They pulled
weeds (and some mighty sticky ones at that), raked up leaves and debris around
the parking lot, cut the grass and put bags and bags of mulch out in the
Memorial Garden. It was a huge job but they all chipped in and helped out
in different places. THANK YOU again.

A F R I C A Mission Trip
NEEDED: Supplies for the children that Mary Whelan will meet in Africa. As you know, Mary will be  helping children and teaching

- stickers, coloring books, colored pencils,
markers, small pencil sharpeners,
crayons, hair barrettes, ponytail holders, hard candy.
THESE MUST BE AT THE CHURCH BY END OF DAY FRIDAY APRIL 30th to get loaded for the trip. Or if you are interested in contributing financially to
this cause it would still be very much appreciated. Please leave a message or donation at the
Church office. |
