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.
Don't forget June 7th is Recognition Sunday! We'll be acknowledging the 3rd graders, the teachers, the food pantry volunteers, 2 Presbyterian Women, the graduates! Whew! Then, immediately following worship, everyone is invited to a hotdog lunch. At 11:45, the 3 year old through 5th graders are all invited to attend our Vacation Bible School till 1:30. What a nice day!!
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.
HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE GRADUATES! We'd love to share in your happiness and excitement by showing you off in our display case. If you have an extra photo, and maybe a grad. announcement, please drop off in Julie's desk or box. Thank you.
"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.
