Dear Messiah,
Geranium Sale for Pentecost Sunday, May 15th. Orders are now being taken for Geraniums. Order box on card ministry table. Due date is May 9th.
Jesus Study, Mondays at 7P.M. beginning May 16th. We will look at the last 24 hours of Jesus’ life on earth where He experienced rejection from His own people, betrayal of a close friend, and unanswered prayer for help; and yet displayed a symphony of love for all involved, especially His loved ones. Amazingly, we too can learn to act as He did if we take time to learn from His example. Please join us in the sanctuary for this study and we’ll grow together.
Relay for Life is a 24 hour team and community event to honor cancer survivors, recognize caregivers, remember loved ones, and fight against cancer. The teen youth group, VAMOS, has committed to walk the track for 24 hours, and help change HOPE to CURE. Our team is raising money to go toward research for a cure and to Hope Lodges for those undergoing treatment. We appreciate all the past support from the congregation, and thank you for your support this year. We will have an envelope for cash or check donation available on the Library doors until May 15th. More information is available on Messiah’s website. If you are interested in contributing a gift basket to raffle at Relay or have any questions, please contact Leah Colley at leahfisher88@gmail.com or Miranda Stueve at miranda.stueve@gmail.com.
