PLEASE NOTE

On Vacation
Kathy is on a much-deserved vacation this week. The church office will be open only when Brenda Kraft, Linda Keenum and Tempe’ are in the office working. Should you need to come to the office please call Tempe’ and she can let you into the church as you need.

Jim Geary is also on vacation and so the service will not be filmed.

A message from Pastor Tempe’,
This Memorial Day Sunday is our Fifth Sunday Daily Change “noisy” Fifth Sunday offering  (Previously called Nickel a Meal/Pennies for Hunger)

Dennis Dalgleish is our Lay Reader and Jackie Reed is again our guest organist/pianist.

Our Chapel Band will be playing if all are healthy and well.

Cecilia Morgan offers this information that she has discovered this week…

I have found that many people don't know that you can now go to Covid.gov and order 8 home tests and then order 8 more for the same address.  We had ordered the 1st 8 and in discussion with Griff, we had decided that we wouldn't order the 2nd 8.  However, after this week I went ahead and ordered the 2nd 8.  It takes a while to get them. 

Please remember the families of Uvalde, Texas and  pray that they will find comfort and that our nation can find ways to subdue violence and address the causes and treatments for mental illness.

UPCOMING EVENTS

May - Dollars for Mission Offering - Remember your regular offerings, and your single Dollars for Mission as part of worship. These single or designated dollars will go to assist hunger, resettlement, and health needs in the Ukraine.

May 29 - Fifth Sunday - Daily Change - On fifth Sundays we have taken the opportunity to pass the “buckets’ for creative or hunger issues. With each meal we invite you to set aside a small offering to assist with needed projects in our area. Sometimes our offering will go beyond our county and help with the Presbytery’s offering for hunger. Today we are giving our offering to the Presbytery’s hunger programs. You can see the list of this spring’s grant recipients on your bulletin insert. This fund has been totally depleted with these gifts. Your offerings will help to build it back up so that equally beneficial programs can be awarded in the fall.

June 7 - The Lovely Ladies trip to Brevard is rescheduled for June 7th. Sign up in the church hallway.
