Announcements

 

WELCOME - We welcome Brad Bryan as our speaker this morning.  Brad is Executive Director of City Impact Ministries in Lincoln.  Thank you to Brad for sharing with us today.

 

INVITATION - You're invited to Ben Breckbill's senior piano recital/graduation party on Sunday, May 31 at the Unitarian Church of Lincoln (6300 A Street).  The recital will begin at 4:00, and the graduation party will follow from 5:00 to 6:00.  

 

NEXT SUNDAY - Our speaker next Sunday will be Pastor Tom Barber of the People's City Mission.

 

POTLUCK TODAY - Join us after today's service for our monthly potluck meal.  These meals are a great time for fellowship and food and all are welcome!

 

SUMMER SIGN-UP - Sign up now to teach children's Sunday School this summer.  Summer is almost here, and we like to give our year-long teachers a break.  Please sign up on the bulletin board by the kitchen to help out for a Sunday or two.  This is a great opportunity to build relationships with our children here at FMC, or perhaps try out your talent of teaching, without a long commitment.  Check your schedule and sign up soon. 

 

MANY THANKS - Thank You First Mennonite Faith Family for your ongoing prayers, cards, words of encouragement, and acts of assistance during the past two months.  What a difference family, church and friends can make in times like this.  Having lived a lifetime being a caregiver for countless numbers of persons, in many different situations, I now have had the privilege of receiving expressions of love and care from others.  How blessed Betta and I feel for being touched by your care.

                                                         - Marlin Kym

 

OUR DAILY BREAD - The devotional booklet, Our Daily Bread, has arrived for the next quarter.  Help yourself to one on the top of the church mailboxes.
