URGENT
MORE ITEMS NEEDED
We just 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 another 25 bath towels and 25 comb/brush sets .

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

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

CHURCH CLEAN-UP DAY
Saturday, May 19
Northminster and Calvary will be joining together to do some outside work on our property.

My sincere thank you to my church family for all of the prayers, cards, visits, phone calls and the delicious dinners that were prepared and brought to us after I returned home from my two surgeries.
Everything you did brought a smile to my face and I do believe made me heal quicker. What a loving and caring church family I have!

Hope to see all of you soon.

Love and Blessings,
Marsha

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.
