HELP!

We are in need of a couple of people to learn to run the soundboard for Sunday Service. It would not be an "every Sunday commitment" , but more like once or twice a month.

Please let Rosemary or Eric Shelbourn know if you are willing to help.

Last call for new member class will be in May. We will not be scheduling another class until fall.

Yellow forms are available on the desk in the narthex if you want to join us in May.

Spirit of Hope has a strong belief in helping our community and we definitely want to continue this ministry. Sometimes however, we have too many great ideas at the same time.

Council is asking that all requests for charitable contributions ( be it $$ or items) go through the council BEFORE they are announced to the congregation. We would like to schedule things so that we are not overwhelming the congregation with requests for multiple donations at the same time.

In case you were wondering….

· Someone will be in the church office Tuesdays and Thursdays 9am-1pm
