Crisis Control Ministry

During the month of April, Crisis Control Ministry would like CANNED FRUIT to fill their shelves.  The need continues and the
situation never changes. When we help fill the Ministry's shelves, they can help keep a
family in their home or supply a life-saving drug.  Please place your items in the white box and be generous, as you always are.

Youth Happenings!

Hello all and Happy April! 
 
In March we stocked cans for New Communion, wrote prayers for ending violence in schools, and took
Polaroid pictures around the church as a lesson on
discipleship. 
 
In April, we will break down Jesus' Sermon on the
Mount into four weeks: the Beatitudes, the Antitheses ("you've heard it said..."), sayings on Materialism, and parables around judgment and forgiveness. Our goal is not to just memorize the sayings or talk about them abstractly. We want 
to take these lessons seriously, and really reflect on how Jesus' teachings inform our Discipleship. 
 
Our Summer mission trip to Christmount is July 8-13! For details on the trip or to sign up you or someone you think would be interested, please contact me at  mundkm12@wfu.edu . 
 
If you are interested in providing a meal for the youth during April, please contact me at  (828)713-2570 . 

Peace -
Kaitlin
