URGENT
MORE ITEMS NEEDED
We've received a message from Hartville Migrant Ministry concerning some needs for the fast approaching migrant season.

Due to a leak in their basement some items (that were in storage...not our recent purchases) have been ruined. Also some items were missing from those committed to the ministry (again...not us).

You have already been generous in your support, but we would like to help by providing bath towels and comb/brush sets .

Still needed are:
12 bath towels, 18 brushes, and just a few combs.
(DOLLAR TREE HAS A NICE SELECTION OF BRUSHES FOR $1.00)

There is a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Desk or you can call Barb in the church office and she will do the sign up for you.

The due date for the new items is Sunday, May 27.

PENTECOST OFFERING - Sunday, May 20

The Pentecost Offering helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and also address the needs of at-risk children. Forty percent of the Pentecost Offering can be retained by individual congregations wanting to make an impact in the lives of young people within their own community.

The remaining 60% is used to support these ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency:

  • Young Adult Volunteers
  • Ministries for Youth
  • Children-at-Risk
  • Pentecost Offering Financials

The Session has agreed to use our 40% of the contributions to the Pentecost Offering to help fund the upcoming youth mission trip to Louisville, Kentucky.

You can give at any time to the Pentecost Offering
between now and May 20.
