Sharing our Joys and Concerns
Leader : The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Leader: Let us pray… Silent Prayer Prayer The Prayer Jesus taught Us
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.

The Second Mile Recipient for May
Homewood Retirement Center
Let us remember those older folks who have been living in a
retirement home so long that their financial resources are exhausted
by giving to the Homewood Benevolent Fund to support them. The
fund is used to help all those living at Homewood to receive the
same level of care regardless of their ability to pay. Please place your check in the
offering plate and designate “Homewood” to give to this special offering.

We are back at the Soup Kitchen TODAY at 4:45 p.m. We will be
needing mac & cheese, cakes, salad fixings and rolls and, of course,
YOU. Please come out and help, it’s not too late. Our
homemade mac & cheese and ham continue to be a popular meal
and it is great to see how much people enjoy it. The sign up sheet is
on the table in the back of the church. Hope to see you there.
FOOD DRIVE FOR
SEED OF LIFE NURSERIES
SOL is collecting food to be distributed to needy
families in Frederick County. Farmer Mike who spoke to
us at breakfast a few months ago is asking congregations to pick an item
(we picked boxed mac & cheese) to collect during the month of May.
We are asking everyone to bring a few boxes of mac & cheese. We will
have a basket at the back of the church to collect your donations.
Food Bank Items for May
Let’s celebrate Cinco de Mayo all month long with food
bank donations of salsa, canned chili, tortillas (non
refrigerated), refried beans, rice, and other Mexican-style
foods. The food bank is always requesting canned pasta,
peas, and fruit, boxed potatoes & toilet tissue. As well as
food donations, cash donations are also accepted by the Glade
Valley Community Services at P.O. Box 655, Walkersville, MD 21793
Reminder: We will begin our summer worship schedule on June 4, 2017. The
2016-2017 Sunday School Year will end
