MINUTE FOR MISSION
With some of the money from our cookbook
sales we were able to purchase Bibles for the
Marion Detention Center. The new study Bibles
have an insert that say they came from the
United Presbyterian Church.

What a wonderful fellowship luncheon we had
on April 20th welcoming Murray and his
beautiful family! The food was delicious, James
and Wendy brought out our best china and
silver reserved for VIP's and a good time was
had by all. The next fellowship dinner is May l8
after the worship service with the Leake's in
charge. See you there! Everyone is invited to
bring a dish and join us.

Also, for Sunrise House (a group home for the handicapped) we
purchased a grill with a cover, a vacuum cleaner and a cooler (for
when they have outings).
They have both been very appreciative of our donations.
We would like to plan a trip to Bellwood Children’s Home
sometime in the near future involving anyone in the congregation
that might be interested in going.

Women's Circle
“Above and Beyond: Hearing God’s Call” - Sharing Circle
Study Ruth Chapter 3 - In God we Trust?
Key Idea: The true test of both calling and character is
whether we can trust God and act faithfully in the face of
uncertainty.
- Have you ever been at a place in your life when
you wondered if God was playing games with you?
- Did you react with an act of faith or a lack of faith in
your uncertainty?
- How can Ruth, Naomi and Boaz help us face
these moments with faithfulness and trust?

Jonah and Ruth affirm that God’s concern extends beyond Israel/Family to
all peoples.

| Food Collection for the Community Service Center The Order of the Cross Youth Group will be taking over the responsibilites of the food collection for the Community Service Center and will be making the deliveries. Please remember to bring canned food, pastas, cereals, and any food with a long shelf life to church and put in the barrell. |

| CALLING ALL MEMBERS!!!!! 2008 is well underway but it is not too late to do your duty as a member and serve on a Church Committee! It is greatly encouraged that all active members serve in some way - some older members serve as advisors, while younger members really do the dirty work! We need to grow our Church Family and in order to do this WE NEED YOUR IDEAS!!!! Church Committees are the best way to get your ideas out of your head and into action! Below you will find the new Session and their assignments. Find something that interests you or lines up with your ideas and contact that Elder and get on their committee! |

| In the next few weeks, be prepared for a lot of pane. Actually, lots of panes! The church is getting new windows! The old windows have served us for years, but many are now very drafty, broken or cracked and in need of replacement. All windows in the church, except for the beautiful stained glass windows, of course, will be replaced with new energy efficient windows that will enhance the outward appearance of our church facility. Not only that, but we will see a difference in our utility bills (an estimated 25% savings beginning immediately). We'll also notice that the temperature inside the building will be more constant. No more wondering if we need a sweater, a light jacket, or our sauna suits for Sunday morning activities! Thanks to our property committee for their watchful care over the church facility and their work in getting this much needed update completed. |
| MEMORIAL DAY FLAGS All our Sunday School children are invited to go to the National Cemetery to place flags on the headstones for the Memorial Day Holiday. We will meet at the cemetery on Saturday, May 24th at 8:00 AM. |
Below is the calendar for the rest of the year:
