Mother's Day Meal
May 13th, 2012

 Are planning to take "mom" out for Mother's Day? Why not plan to stay right here at the church.  Our Student Ministry will be hosting a Mother's Day Meal. This means you will not have to wait in long lines and no overcrowded restaurants. Invite your whole family; mom's,  grandmothers, aunts and sisters to a this special Mother's Day Meal where you can sit down as a family and be served by our youth. There is no set cost of the meal we simply ask that you make a donation based on what you feel lead to give.  All donations will be used to help defer the added cost of camp fees for Falls Creek and for student scholarships. In the bulletin on the back of the information card, please mark if you plan to attend this meal. The meal will be served after Sunday School and after 2nd service in the fellowship hall. We will also fill to go orders if needed. Thank You for supporting our students!
