VOLUNTEERS OF THE MONTH
Faithfully they come each week with a smile on
their faces and a cheerful spirit. They work diligently at their jobs
and we are thankful they come to serve this church. Florene Rittenhouse,
Marie Dorough and Maggie Wurtz arrive at the end of each week making the
church ready for the Sunday service. Florene and Marie take care of
all of our pew supplies, keeping things stocked, straightened and picked up.
That’s no small job because there are 23 pews in the sanctuary. Marie
and her husband Faber have been busy with the landscaping of the front of
our church with flowers and shrubs. Maggie spends each Friday afternoon
in the church office folding and putting inserts in each of our Sunday bulletins
(90 each week) as well as any extra projects that may need doing. She
is currently serving as chair of the Evangelism Committee and teaching an
adult Sunday school class. All three of these lovely ladies have also
overseen meals following funeral services. We appreciate these women
so much and the vital work they do for our church.

LITTLE DOGS ON THE PRAIRIE
Continuing into May, our Wednesday night
kid’s program features “Little Dogs on the Prairie,” 7-8:15 p.m. for kids
3 years old through 5th grade. “Lyin’, Cheatin’ and a Hot Lollipop” highlights
Biblical truths your children will easily use in their everyday lives. Kids
can earn “Bible Bucks” for monthly shopping at the “Little Yellow Store on
the Prairie.” We urge parents to bring your children each
week and have them invite a friend! A “prairie dog party” will be held
Wednesday, May 29 to celebrate finishing this curriculum.
Beginning in June the program will take on a new summer look with warm weather
activities, field trips and great snacks!
