Did you know that by volunteering a few hours each month YOU can make a positive impact on someone else’s life?
Our Food Pantry is in need of a few more volunteers. The Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
This would be a great experience for a high school student who needs to complete community hours for school.
If you’d like to make a difference, meet new people and are willing to work hard for a few hours each month, please contact
LuAnn Hansen

Siftings from the PNC ...
The PNC met on Thursday and began to develop interview questions for candidates. Everything is going along like it should. The MIF (Ministry Information Form) has been completed and signed off by Debbie Yale, Clerk of Session. Rachael Yates of the Presbytery of Milwaukee has received the MIF. Now we wait for approval from CTM (Commission on Transitional Ministries) and then the MIF will go to the CLC (Church Leadership Connection) to be publicized. Once that takes place we will begin to review the PIFs (Personal Information Form ) and start the interview process for our Pastor position. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
Your PNC Committee: Pat Badger, Ellen Easley, Chris Hansen, Dave Holle, Theo Leavell, Denise Park, Pam Simpson

May My Heart Always Be Open | e.e. cummings
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile
