The Women’s Care Group will meet this Wednesday at 7:00 at Kathy’s.
There will be a Relay for Life fundraiser walk on May 19th. Please contact
Florence Showalter if you are interested in sponsoring her with a
donation.
We will be observing Communion next Sunday during the worship service.
The offering next Sunday will be split evenly between Virginia Mennonite
Conference and Virginia Mennonite Missions.
Please join in the fun June 3rd for a packed lunch and hike, beginning at
the Buckhorn Inn after the morning service. Bring your own lunch to those
that are interested will spend time hiking the trails in the area. Feel
free to wear your hiking clothes to church, even if you don’t plan to
hike! You may also change at the Buckhorn or at church.
Recent shipments of relief kits to Syrian refugees in Jordan have depleted
the supply that Mennonite Central Committee keeps in reserve; please help
them restock to be able to act quickly in a crisis or disaster. To see how
to assemble relief kits please visit
mcc.org/kits/relief. Also, your gifts
of money are urgently needed to respond to the crisis in the region, along
with your prayers for peace.
Please
Prayer For:
- Joyce Showalter as she heals from pneumonia.
1 John 4:8, “Whoever does not love
does not know God, because God is love.”
Thank you for
joining us in worship today. If this is your first time at Staunton
