Announcements
We are collecting toilet paper for the Valley Mission through the end of
May. Please bring your donations to the front of the sanctuary before the
service or during the Penny Power offering.
Our offering today will be split evenly and distributed to support the
ministries of Virginia Mennonite Conference and Virginia Mennonite
Missions.
You are invited to a comforter-knotting party this Wednesday at the
church, beginning at 6:30. No experience is necessary. Dessert will be
served after the comforters have been knotted. All comforters will be
donated to Mennonite Central Committee and distributed to refugees.
On Sunday, May 26th, we will welcome the Bethel Mountain Band to our
worship service. We will have a social time from 9:30-10:00 with the band
playing its first set from 10:00-10:30. Our regular worship time will
include some of the usual elements but the band will lead us in an
extended time of worship.
Do you have non-clothing items that you are interested in getting rid of
for a good cause? Staunton Mennonite will be hosting a yard sale for the
Alzheimer’s Association on June 15th. Please bring your items to the
church the first two weeks of June.
Please
Prayer For:
-
Those who have been affected by the recent bombing in
Boston, explosion in Texas, and other disasters around the world.
-
Jim Duncan as he heals following open-heart surgery.
-
Bill Charles, BJ Rohr and Merton Greenleaf, our friends
and family dealing with cancer and its treatment.
