ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

The GEMS counselors will once again be part of the Community Garage Sale – Saturday, June 4 at 318 Hunt Street. If you have any donations please contact Benita, 732-5163 or Diane, 824-3623 or drop items off at Wilma Lubberts' home before Friday, June 3. Thank you for your support of the GEMS counselors in our church.

 

Thank you: I would like to thank the congregation for your prayerful and financial support as I attended PLIA (Putting Love Into Action). This spring break, I had the opportunity to travel to Denver, Colorado and work alongside Brothers Redevelopment Incorperated (BRI), a Denver-based nonprofit organization that provides a variety of housing and housing-related services for the region's low-income, elderly, and disabled residents. My PLIA team participated in the organizations Paint-A-Thon; we were able to paint the exteriors of two houses as well as communicate and build relationships with the residents. In the foyer there is a poster with pictures showing some of the work that we did. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
