The program is part of a five-state tour featuring a short documentary film about the seagoing cowboys who tended livestock sent on ships to Europe and China following World War II for post-war rehabilitation. Of the 7,000 men and boys who made these trips, nearly 1,000 of them were Mennonite. All seagoing cowboys present will be recognized. For more information, see www.seagoingcowboys.com. |

Study guides for both are available on the table in the meeting room behind David's office, or ask Gerry Cooney. |
BUILDING OFFERING - Today we give thanks to God for the new space we enjoy with a special building fund offering. We are depending upon this offering to cover a little more than half of our mortgage payments for the second three months of this year, a total of $1,800.76. The offering is an opportunity to meet this obligation together. The building offering will be in addition to our regular tithes and offerings. Contributions designated "building fund" are invited and may be made at any time. |
SUMMER SIGN-UP - Sign up now to teach children's Sunday School this summer. Summer is almost here, and we like to give our year-long teachers a break. Please sign up on the bulletin board by the kitchen to help out for a Sunday or two. This is a great opportunity to build relationships with our children here at FMC, or perhaps try out your talent of teaching, without a long commitment. Check your schedule and sign up soon. |

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL SIGN-UP - You won't want to miss Bible School on July 15 and 16! Kids, sign up now in the fellowship hall if you can come. We need lots of volunteers to sign up, too. See Tammy Riedel if you have questions. |

Donated items can be dropped off at church starting one week before the sale and please be sure to price them yourselves before you drop them off. We need your help to donate garage sale items, bring baked goods, and volunteer at the sale. The proceeds will go to the landscaping and playground projects. |
