them here at the church by noon on Friday, May 9. See the flyer on the bulletin
board regarding the event. Any questions contact Mary Ellen Musser.
May 18, Sun.-Please plan to join in a time of singing at Fairmount Homes at 2-3
p.m. as we encourage Veronica, Esther and others with a message in song. James
Martin will serve as song leader, leading us in familiar songs from the C & SS
Hymnal in an informal, relaxed atmosphere. As announced last Sunday, anyone able
to remain after the fellowship meal today for a practice is encouraged to meet in the
sanctuary after the meal. This is the only practice planned, but a finalized list of
songs will be available on the narthex table (after todays practice) and everyone is

May 21, Wed.-Bowmansville District Sewing Circle will meet at the Bowmansville
Mennonite Church in the morning and afternoon. Ladies of all ages are welcome to
come to help with comfort knotting, quilting or sewing on a sewing machine. This
month we will share in a covered dish meal. Please bring a hot or cold dish to share
with the group. Place settings and drink are provided. The project for this month is
pencils, which are included in School Kits. Based on feedback from kit recipients,
MCC increased the number of pencils included from four to eight. This much
needed change has created an urgent need for pencils, as many kits arrive at the
warehouse with fewer than eight pencils. Pencils can be brought to the church and
Sewing Circle will see they are taken to MCC. Thank you for helping with this
need.
June 26, Thurs.- Our church will be providing the food and staffing for the

from 5:30-7:30pm on the 26

event.
