CONFERENCE DELEGATES - Because of our growing membership,
First Mennonite Church is now eligible to have an additional delegate for the
Central Plains Mennonite Conference which will be held in Mountain Lake,
Minnesota, June 24-27. We may also
send a youth delegate, age 15-20. If
you would be interested in serving in either of these positions, please let
Brenda McLey or David Orr know.
FRESH VEGETABLES TO SHARE? Anyone interested in
helping to plant and maintain a very small vegetable garden on FMC property
this summer, please contact Rhonda or David Brubacher. The
vegetables grown would be shared with members of the congregation who are
unable to plant a garden due to their living circumstances.
BUILDING USE - From Tuesday, April 27, through Saturday,
May 1, Juvenile Offender and Victim Mediation training will be using our
building for training sessions from 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
