Splendid spring Sunday

UMCOR health kits on the table
Carol shares with the children
Pantry Partners donations
Fellowship is lively!
What a beautiful time we had on this picture-perfect spring Sunday!

The children's church school wrapped a very successful year of sharing the faith with our youngest disciples. The Lectionary study will continue through the summer, looking at the next week's scripture lessons.

In the worship service this morning, the community celebration was enriched by the choir's anthem, "I'll Fly Away". The sermon was "Where comfort is found" based on John 14:15-21.

The generosity of this mission-minded community was in evidence this morning with 100 UMCOR health kits being dedicated. These will be taken to Annual Conference in June. The cart with items for Pantry Partners was full of good things for that important outreach program.

Thanks this morning to: Belinda Alkula, Liz Goddard, Mary Hackett, Lisa Nicholls, & Bev Schneider, (children's teachers), Theresa Tripp  (nursery), Paul Ludington (praise music), Julie Ludington (piano), Hazel Smith (organ), Belinda Alkula (video), Brenda Bolton (choir), Bev Schneider (liturgist), Mitch Edgar (acolyte wrangler), Hannah and Cadance (acolytes), joey Diers & Linda Sunderland (greeter/ushers), Paul Goddard & Don Nelson (offering counters), and Linda Kauffman, Marcia Prather & Bev Schneider (hospitality).
