Option 2: "Understanding Worship" a RightNowMedia study by Tom Kraeuter in the Fellowship Hall. c/o Debi Ackerman. This study dives into what worship really is.

Please contact Debi if you have questions.
The Children's SS will be combining into two classes in June and July (toddler and grade school). Would you consider serving in this ministry and teaching for 1-2 Sundays (sign-up sheet)? Please see Kim Good for more information.
Our summer Adult Sunday School will feature one class in the sanctuary. The study will be "Confident Hope" - in the Gospels, Romans, Hebrews, 2 Cor. & 1 John.
The Menno Knights completed another successful year. Those with the most exercise this year were McKayla Messing, Pat Anderson, Sandy Gnagey, and Lynn Maust. Those losing the most weight were Dave Maurer, Michael Swathwood, and Matthew McIntosh. Congratulations to all 34 participants for their commitment at staying healthy.
Our VBS is on the calendar for July 19-23. Help is needed for all areas. Please put your name on the list at the Welcome Center if you are willing to help or contact Rhonda Buehler. Parents please put this in your calendar and register your kids on our website VBS page.
The Hospitality Committee would like to plan some summer evenings with campfires and fellowship. Our goal is two times a month in June, July & August. We are looking for families who would like to host. You can offer your home, the church, town park, etc. Each host can choose the location. You can provide hot dogs, or anything else you choose and drink. The guests will bring a dish to pass and lawn chairs. If you are interested in hosting, please contact Jeannie Gascho by May 30, so we can put a schedule together and we can all get the dates on our calendar.
For Father's Day, the worship committee would like to put together a photo montage to go with special music that Barry Maust will be singing. We are asking that all of the fathers take a moment after worship to go to the sewing room where Carlene Maust will be taking pictures of their hands for use in the montage. Feel free to bring along something to hold that is representative of you (ex. a hammer for a carpenter). Thanks for your help with this.
Michigan Mennonite Disaster Service has requests for workers!!
This week marks the one year anniversary of flooding disaster in the Midland/ Gladwin, Michigan area. Hundred of wells were rendered useless and hundreds of homes were severely damaged. Blessedly, many, many helpers have put homes and lives back to safe, livable status. There is still work to do for the neediest ones left hanging. There are jobs for drywall installers. Come with a crew-big or little. Come for any length of time that works for you. Help out these families! There is need for roofers. One home is in need of a very skilled roofer to deal with poorly designed, low pitched surfaces. They want to rebuild, but can’t if the roof stays as it is. There are low skilled needs and short term options. Please call if you can help, Bess Fitzgerald MI MDS (269) 381-4264.
