Dear Mayflower Members and Friends,
As the weather slowly turns warmer and the colors of spring emerge, I bring joyful greetings and trust everyone is safe and healthy. I also wanted to briefly share news about our life together as a congregation.
1. OUTREACH
–
I am pleased to report with our finances being stable in March, the Church Council has authorized the release of funds we have designated for Outreach. Our first gift of financial assistance is to the Salvation Army which will support their food pantry. Also, please know this Saturday from 10-12pm under our Portico you will find Ruth Bell Olsson with containers in which to place donated toiletries to help Degage Ministries which supports those in need in the Heartside neighborhood. Please, we ask that you practice social distancing protocols as you stop by Mayflower!
2. SUPPORT
– The Finance Committee continues to be grateful for the support that Mayflower members and friends are contributing to our church. Please find a new and simple way to give is through your smartphone. If you wish to text a gift to Mayflower, please text 6163446255 then the word "give" and follow the prompts.
3. CHILDREN'S CHOIRS
- I am so pleased to report, this past Sunday, Abby Brooks and Joshua Ledesma (Directors of our Children's and Youth Choirs) held a virtual ribbon ceremony acknowledging choristers who have graduated from one level to the next (each received a new colored ribbon for their cross, representing the number of years served.) The joy on their faces was a wonderful sight to behold! See below for a few screen shoots of this lovely event.
See you in Virtual Church!
Blessings,
Mark Barger Elliott
Senior Pastor
