WHAT’S HAPPENING AT SMC . . .

 

 

Lindsey Gray is the band director at Kingsway Christian School.  We welcome her and appreciate her participation in our worship service today.

 

We extend our sympathy to the Don Mast family and the Elvin Mast family in the death of Johnny Mast, Don’s father and Elvin’s brother.

 

Open Circle Sunday School Class eat-out will be Tuesday, June 26, at 12 noon, at The Country Kitchen Restaurant inside the Best Western Motel, in downtown Wooster.  Sandy and Ginny Oyer will be hosting.

 

Seeker’s Sunday School Class eat-out will be Wednesday, June 27, at 6:30 p.m., at The Country Kitchen Restaurant, inside the Best Western Motel, in downtown Wooster.  David and Velda Rohrer will be hosting.

 

There will be no scrapbooking Friday night as indicated in the bulletin and on the church calendar.  Watch your bulletin for further dates.

 

A Volunteer is needed for the position of Wagon Transportation Coordinator for the Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale.  This position consists of coordinating all the tractor and wagon operators and equipment for transporting from the parking areas to the event entrance.  This should be someone from the local community who knows the area farmers.  This person would be working with Ralph Hofstetter who currently does this task.  See Rhonda Mease for more information if you are interested in helping with the Relief Sale in this way.

 

The MYF is looking for a Volunteer to pick them up at the airport in Columbus upon their return from San Jose. They are scheduled to arrive at the Columbus airport, Saturday, July 7, at 3:30 p.m.

 

 Sign up today for our Friendship Circle outing to Berlin Flea Market.

 

 

Bible School will be July 23-27. We are still in need of        crew leaders. Can you help?

 

There are registration forms for children in your mailboxes today. We would like these back by July 15.  Along with the forms are cards for each child to use for inviting a friend to VBS. Those who return a registration form from a friend   will receive a prize.
