The Plymouth Chimes


April Guild Program
Ever wonder what it would feel like to live through an f5 tornado? The ladies of the guild will learn that from Mitzi Hesser who will speak to them on Wednesday, April 21 at 10 a.m. in the Commons. She will also describe the way in which the town of Greensburg is rebuilding itself as a very “green” city. This promises to be a fascinating program and everyone is invited to attend. Please come and join us.


Green Sunday
On April 18 we will be honoring Paul and Margaret Miller and their important work in favor of the environment.


Recycling
We have moved our recycling bins out the north doors around the corner to the east. You no longer have to separate your items; just make sure to check what is acceptable. A list of acceptable items is posted inside the entry. This is a very responsible project for the church and we should all be proud of the work we are doing.


Sympathies
The Church would like to offer our sympathies to Joni Willson of the loss of her mother on March 13 and also to Ray and Roxie Mengelkoch on the loss of Ray’s mother on April 1. Our thoughts and prayers are with both of these families.


Congratulations are in order for Seth and Veronica Sanford of the birth of a 7 lb.15 oz. baby girl named Braelyn Alexis. Braelyn is the granddaughter of Steve and Mary Ann Thomas.




 
Youth Mission Trip to Argentina

Our youth are excited about traveling to Argentina this summer! They will be visiting an NACCC-sponsored mission that provides worship, education, medical, and social services to hundreds of people each week. If you have questionsregarding the trip please see Will Root, Youth Director, for information.


Would you like to provide flowers for the communion table?

You may give flowers in honor of or in memory of loved ones. The flowers are ordered by you. Call the office for an available date. An announcement will appear in the Sunday bulletin.


DO YOU NEED A RIDE?
If you would like to attend worship on Sunday morning and cannot drive or do not have a ride, the Board of Deacon’s would like to hear from you. Just call the church office at 684-0221 and let us know a day or two prior. We have transportation available. Hope to see you soon!


Vacation Bible School
Believe it or not, the Board of Christian Education has already started planning our 2010 Vacation Bible School program. They have selected a program from Group Publishing called “High Seas Expedition” that will help children discover the power of God’s love. The CE Board could use your help in setting the stage for this swashbuckling adventure and will be looking for fishing nets, ship’s wheels, wooden barrels, lanterns,wooden crates, and nautical knickknacks. Please keep your eyes and ears open for potential decorations and pass along any leads to Lisa or a member of the CE Board. Thanks!


The Upper Room
The Upper Room’s newest issue, May and June, is now available in the regular and large print. Please feel free to help yourself .
