Saturday, April 28 is the

All are welcome and invited to fellowship,
communion, prayer, and breakfast. We will
focus on praying for several of the work areas
of this church. These work areas do a lot of
ministry and service and have needs many of
us know nothing about, so leaders will share
about the work area and then we will go out
into the church to pray for those needs.
We will meet in the Hearth Room at 8 am for
breakfast and end by 10:30 am. Please let us
know you are coming and we will set a place
at the table for you! Please contact Peg Born
at [email protected] to RSVP or if you
have questions. Hope you can join us!
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in
every situation, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Donations needed…Can you help?
Life Groups are such a privilege! They
fellowship, serve and study together and
they care for and encourage group
members and people outside the group.
The Thursday Morning Bible Study Life
Group has been led to begin a straw bale
garden for its mission project to reach out
and share the love of Jesus Christ. We
have invited several organizations with
clients in need of friendship and a
peaceful place to gather to buddy with
us in this opportunity.
The preparation for this outreach begins
with gathering the needed items for the
project. We will condition the bales, build
a fence to keep deer out and begin to
plant seeds. We were wondering if any of
you have some of the necessary supplies
stored away in your garage and if you would like to pass them on for
use in this mission project? Below are items we hope to collect. If you
do, you can call and we can pick them up. We would be grateful for
your help in this! Thank you for your generosity.
Soaker hoses Garden benches Landscape fabric
Fishing line Potting soil Plastic sheeting
Trowels T-posts 2x4 or 2x6 lumber
Fence wire Large flower pots Unopened lawn
fertilizer (12-12-12 or others)
This is an exciting project as we share our talents (or no talent) with
those in the community who would benefit from a project like this.
Please ask us about the project if you see one of us. Group members
include Alysia Bucci, Belinda Blasy, Beth Ewerth, Bethany Goodman,
Carol Harfmann, Carolyn Graham, Cheryl Dauer, Chuck Goodman,
Denise Lundy, Donna Richards, Ed Hannum, Joan Grady, Joyce
Halstead, Judy Bishop, Julie Pangborn, Linda Gorman, Nancy Hannum,
Peg Born, Sharon Kilgore, Suzanne Ballard, and Virginia Ballard.
To donate items please call Sharon Kilgore at 989-750-5039 or contact
her by email at [email protected].
