Many thanks to Jeff Sandquist who put together an amazing program of Songs of War and Peace that not only witnessed to faith in God but our continuous efforts to work for peace.  Images and words that spoke of children in war torn countries, though taken from WWII history, touched the heart as if taken this week.

Our last day of children’s Sunday school is Sunday, May 17 and we are thinking of some kind of picnic, possibly fishing.  Please let Mary Kwantes or Bob May know if you can help.

We welcomed Kristen Eye last Sunday into full membership.  We appreciate her continuous commitment to choir this year.  Welcome and Thank you Kristen.

The PW Directory will be updated this summer.  Would you please check your phone number to see if it is correct and give us an email address if it is not listed in the church directory.  You may email Pat Look at pal@fidnet.com or Melba Read at cmread@fidnet.com corrected information by May 21st.

Memorial Bricks:  During the next month or two, if you wish, you may place an order for a Memorial Brick in memory of a church member, family member, or friend.  The cost of a brick is $100, part of which pays for maintenance of the Garden. Please contact Cynthia or Betti Jo in the church office if you wish to purchase a brick. 

The Preschool graduation will be Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 pm.  The last day of School will be May 20, 2015.
