Thank you to all the people who brought food to share... what a spread !
A special "thank you" to Ellen McManus and Laurie Swaine for planning, purchasing, prepping and serving !!

benefitting our Church!
Ian Schneider, of Troop 327, will be painting the fellowship hall as his Eagle Project. He will be in church next Sunday, May 12th, to give you details on the project and how you can support him in his fundraising efforts.

Thrivent representative, Derek, was here on April 28th to explain how becoming a Thrivent insurance member can benefit our church.
informational pamphlets are outside the fellowship hall
$20 = become an associate member (without taking the insurance) and get back $250, for the church, in the form of Action Team Dollars
easy process to sign up - see a council member or anyone who has Thrivent
Update: proceeds of $1,395.00, from Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser, helped lower the remaining balance to $3,205.00.
Thank you to all for your continuous and generous donations!
Recently, we've had some loans against our Memorial account, to pay for some big items, such as installing air conditioning & replacing the oil burner in the Wolpert building.
Good News: Thanks to several generous donations, made over the last few months, we were able to pay back the entire air conditioning loan. This allows us to focus on the remaining balance of oil burner replacement of $4,600.
