BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN
Mother’s Day through Father’s Day
Remember the baby bottles from last year? They are back! Children’s Ministries is again handing out empty baby bottles for families to fill up with their loose change. Pick up an empty bottle in the foyer, fill the bottle with all the extra coins laying on top of the dresser; then, sometime in the next month, bring it back to church. All the change will be counted up and given to A Woman’s Touch Crisis Pregnancy Center in Bellevue as a way to encourage women with an unexpected pregnancy or those who need a helping hand with their newborn.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
“The Creation Story”,
is the theme for this year’s VBS program.

Twenty-somethings (give or take a year or two), be sure to look for information about twenty4seven at www.twenty4seven.info.
DINNER 8
Information is posted at the Involvement Center again for the next round of Dinner 8 which runs June through September. This is a great way to meet new people and get to know a little about them. Four couples are assigned to a group. Two singles can comprise a couple. Once a month, the group meets at the home of one of the couples. The host couple plans the entrée and the other couples bring either a salad, veggie or dessert. The following month, hosting duties shift to one of the other couples. After September, new groups will be formed so you can meet three more new couples. Information sheets for those couples who have never participated in Dinner 8 are available at the Involvement Center.
WHAT’S FOR DINNER?
Hey, Ladies! Do you struggle trying to put together dinner plans for your family? Summer is almost here, and we want to help. Women’s Ministries is sponsoring “The Super Summer Challenge”. Prepare a sample of your family’s “favorite” and bring it along with the recipe to the Worship Center in the Education Wing on Tuesday, May 20, at 6:30 p.m. If you have some fun summer activity you do with your family, be prepared to share that, too! Sign up at the new Wilde Women’s display in the foyer.
Can’t wait to see you there!
