Lawn Mowing Update
Thanks to a very generous donation, the Shueyville Church now has a 2nd riding mower. If you haven't already signed up contact a friend or nudge your spouse, or sign up together and the job can be done in half the time! The trustees are very grateful to those that have already volunteered to mow the church lawn. Thanks to the nice weather the grass has really started to grow. We want to do our best to keep the church grounds looking good for the summer. The sign up sheet is in the lobby. Pick a week and mow any time before Sunday. Contact Rick Less, 319-560-9954 if you have questions.

Coordinating Our Building Use
Are you needing a place at the church for a committee meeting or event? Please note that ALL scheduling of the building's use must be cleared and scheduled through Julie in the church office. This is not a "permission" issue, but we do need this central location for keeping track of the building's activities (we are thankful to be able to host a growing number of Boy and Girl Scouts this year!). Just drop an email or phone the office (848-7213), so there are no surprises. Thank you!
