We have a number of floral
arrangements gracing the altar this morning:
One arrangement
is in memory of the birthday of Bill Marshall who would have been
80 years old.
They have been given by the
Marshall Family.
The other
arrangement is in honor of Margaret Gilbert to wish her a happy
birthday and a happy
Mother’s Day. The
arrangement has been given by her family.
We extend our thanks this morning to:
•
Betty
Jo Stendel
for serving as Liturgist at the 10 am
worship service.
•
Kristin Lowery
for enhancing the Ministry of Music
with her accompaniment on her flute.
•
Barb
and Earl Affholter
for providing the carnations that
will be given to each woman as they leave the worship service this morning
in honor of Mother’s Day. Barb and Earl have made this donation in loving
memory of their mothers and aunts.
The Relay for Life team will
meet this morning between worship services at 9:30 in the fellowship hall.
A SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING
MAY 20TH WORSHIP SERVICE: Next week is Confirmation
Sunday. Please be advised that we will have only one worship service next
Sunday at 10 a.m. This is a very special day for our Confirmands and we
would like for the entire congregation to witness these young adults as
some are baptized and all are received into membership. A very special
worship service is being planned that we believe will be an uplifting and
joyous occasion.
Please be sure to sign both of the
caring
letters
that are in the
narthex. The letters are to Nick Strudgeon and Kara Martin who will be
married in June and Melissa Jaeger and Mike Schmidt who will be married in
September. We wish both of these couples many blessings as they celebrate
this joyous time in their lives.
A planning meeting for the St. Andrew’s Rummage Sale
will take place tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. in the fellowship hall. If you
will be able to assist the week of the sale, we would appreciate your
attendance as we organize for this annual event. We will begin accepting
donations at the church on May 27th. If you will be donating
clothing, it would be very helpful if you could mark the size on the
item. This will save the volunteers time as they organize the items
donated. The sale is planned for Friday, June 8th, from 8 am –
6 pm and Saturday, June 9th, from 9 am – 1 pm.
The Relay for Life Event is only a week away!

We are in
the process of looking
for people
who would be willing to work with LifeTouch

There is a real need for an updated version and anyone interested in
working on this new venture is asked to contact Carol Jones.
For those suffering with loss ,
a free workshop is available on two different dates. The workshop will be
