Fellowship Meal
Following the morning service on May 2 we will
have a Taco Fest in the fellowship hall. We are soliciting all items necessary
for a taco/taco salad meal. If you'd like to contribute, please let one of the
Kathy's know what you plan to bring (lettuce, tomatoes, beans, chips, black
olives, salsa, meat, sour cream, guacamole, etc.) Thank you! |

Philippines Mission Team
Please continue to pray for Pastor Clio and the
medical/dental team that is serving in the Philippines. At last report the
medical equipment that was being held-up in customs still has not arrived at
the Mati compound. However, the local governor is committed to helping resolve
the issues causing the delay. In fact, Pastor Clio is scheduled to speak at the
Governor's mansion to a delegation of more than 500 dignitaries Monday morning.
Pray for him that the Lord will enable him to say exactly what is needed to
further God's Kingdom in this poverty-stricken area.

of discussion and application. The evening begins with a meal at 6:00 and the

Villa Capri Ministry Ended
For
several reasons we decided to end the current Villa Capri Ministry. We want to stay in touch with the kids and their parents, so we'll probably have
a BBQ there during the summer. Many, many thanks to the committed and
terrific folk who participated in this wonderful outreach ministry to
children. They were: Brad Neil, Jody Fenlason, Nelda Lobb and Bruce
Pleasants.
