| The
Deacons |
|
 The
Deacons did not meet in April, but we are always aware
that the needs of many must still be met. Thefood, so generously
being brought into the Deacons'Box by you, seems to go out
immediately to the needy and the hungry. The "Buy one-Get
one Free" offers in the area stores as well as bargains
in the various Dollar Stores provide a great opportunity for
us to contribute a few items every so often.
Suggested
items that are especially needed:
|
Box
dinners (Macaroni and Cheese, Tuna/Hamburger Helper, Pasta/Rice/Potatoes,
etc.)
Canned goods: soup, pasta, tuna, fruit, ravioli, stew, hash,
etc.
Cereal and Crackers
Peanut butter and jelly
Pasta and sauce
Boxed potatoes of all kinds
Paper products
Cleaning products
|
| The
next Deacons meeting will be Thursday, May 1st, at 4:30
p.m. |
| We urge
each Deacon to keep in touch with all those on their lists,
whom we have the privilege to serve, and especially to forward
(by telephone) any information coming from E mail to those
without computers. |

 It
is time, once again, for Health Fair Kits as coordinated
by our Mission Committee. Each year, for about
20 years now, the Presbytery of Lake Huron holds five-day Health
Fairs each summer for the hundreds of migrant workers who come
to the area to work on local farms. Over the years the number
of migrant families has declined, so although they are still
the main emphasis, Presbytery also holds health fairs for needy
inner-city children. Any leftover kits are then distributed
to women's and men's shelters. YOU can help meet these
critical needs by putting together a health kit. The kit (bag
with instructions) will be available for you to pick up in the
Deacon's corner of the Foyer on the first two Sundays
in May. |
| Completed
kits need to be returned to the church no later than Sunday,
June 1st. |

 The
Women's Bible Study has concluded for the spring, and will resume
at the end of the summer.
Why
not find a quiet time for individual Bible study and meditation
on your porch or in the garden this summer?
