Now till May 7th it is $149, May 8-July 16 is $169, July 17-August 7 is $189. Register early to save! If you know of others to attend you can pick up cards at the Welcome Center to hand out. Please note that their price is different than the one noted here. If you have questions contact Trent Gascho or the office.


You have received the Constitutional revisions document in your email on Friday. We will act on these revisions as well as give an update on the plan for the playground during our congregational meeting after packing MCC kits on May 18th. Please plan to bring food items to share with the church family potluck after the meeting.


On Wednesday, May 14 we will kick off our Summer Campfire season with a combined effort with Bay Shore Camp. Doug & Rhonda Buehler will act as hosts along with Bay Shore. Come out - enjoy a potluck meal, fellowship & campfire. This time also will be to "shower" Tanya, who now works and lives at Bay Shore Camp. Meet at 6 pm, bring a side dish to share & lawn chairs, park at the Family Center. Putt-putt golf will also be available. If you are interested in purchasing or donating an item for Tanya, please see the list in your mailbox. More details & a sign-up sheet to host a Summer Campfire to come. Thank you!


Over the years, there have been several requests for an Educators conference to resource the school administrators, teachers, and school board members in our congregations, and it is finally happening! June 23-25. The Educators’ Conference has been planned by school administrators and teachers, in partnership with Rosedale Network and Rosedale Bible College. Information and registration for the event is available on the Rosedale Network website: https://rosedalenetwork.org/rosedale-network-events/educators-conference/.
