The last day of Sunday School is June 6th. Join us for vacation bible school on June 13th here at Church!
Please remember that we are going to continue asking for our church wish list. Things like tissues, TP, soap refills, copy paper, coffee, cookies, sidewalk salt, or any other items that we might regularly use in the life of the church, are always welcome and a great help in these economic times.
We are looking for people who might have an interest in recording the worship service on Sunday mornings. This job isn't difficult, WE WILL TRAIN YOU, and as long as you're at church anyway, what could it hurt to try? Give Julie in the office, or Larry Langshaw a call if you'd like to help. And thank you.
The Presbyterian Women have their Study Circle on the 4th Wednesday of each month thru June. ANY woman is so very welcome to join us!

Would you like to join CONNECTED THREADS? If you like to knit or crochet, it's Tuesday mornings from 10 to noon as friends enjoy making prayer shawls, slippers, sweaters, etc. If you aren't too sure you know how to knit or crochet, let those who DO know help you!
In your offering envelopes there is a single BLUE envelope that is specially marked for your Per Capita Apportionment. This amount is $23.08 per member. If we all pay for our share and our family's, this will greatly help the almost $10,000 we pay to the Lake Michigan Presbytery. Thanks!
March 15th was designated as "EXTRA MILE SUNDAY". During worship, we asked the congregation to give above their General Fund pledge to help fund three projects. The Missionary Fund, the Carillon Fund, and the Pastor's Sabbatical Fund. This effort began with the need to create a fund for Mark's sabbatical this summer in recognition of his 20 years of service to our church. This is an ongoing fund for use in the future. We also would like to help with Deng Thon Alier's (Samuel) missionary work in Sudan, and thirdly to replace the carillon bells so they may ring more than just the hour across our village. Julie has special envelopes in her office for any or all of the 3 funds, or just send a check to the church with a note or memo as to where the money should go. Thank you. YOU CAN GIVE TO ANY OR ALL OF THESE FUNDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, JUST SEND A CHECK TO THE CHURCH WITH A MEMO AS TO WHAT IT'S FOR.
"The Oral History Project that brought World War II to life for a new generation: moveover, it has built bridges between generations in our church. We hope that publication of the book will be a source of pride for our congregation, and that it will be a lasting contribution to the historical record." Pat Hanavan, editor
This wonderful book of recollections by our congregation and friends has been reprinted. Copies are available from the church office for $10 each. (It makes a great gift!) Please call 629.4944 for more information.
