Announcements

The Women’s Care Group will meet this Wednesday at 7:00 at Kathy’s.

There will be a Relay for Life fundraiser walk on May 19th. Please contact Florence Showalter if you are interested in sponsoring her with a donation.

We will be observing Communion next Sunday during the worship service.

The offering next Sunday will be split evenly between Virginia Mennonite Conference and Virginia Mennonite Missions.

Please join in the fun June 3rd for a packed lunch and hike, beginning at the Buckhorn Inn after the morning service. Bring your own lunch to those that are interested will spend time hiking the trails in the area. Feel free to wear your hiking clothes to church, even if you don’t plan to hike! You may also change at the Buckhorn or at church.

Recent shipments of relief kits to Syrian refugees in Jordan have depleted the supply that Mennonite Central Committee keeps in reserve; please help them restock to be able to act quickly in a crisis or disaster. To see how to assemble relief kits please visit mcc.org/kits/relief. Also, your gifts of money are urgently needed to respond to the crisis in the region, along with your prayers for peace.

Please Prayer For:

  • Joyce Showalter as she heals from pneumonia.

1 John 4:8, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

 


Thank you for joining us in worship today.  If this is your first time at Staunton Mennonite,
please fill out the “Welcome” card in the back of the pew and place it in the offering plate.
