Mission Vitamin Drive
We need your help collecting bottles of children’s vitamins to take to Guatemala this
summer. Our goal is 500 bottles of chewable or gummy children’s vitamins. We are
partnering with Angier Discount Drug who has offered to purchase vitamins in bulk
for $2.50 for 100 count supply. Some money needed has been donated. We only
need $535.00 to complete this mission. Please turn in cash in envelope labeled
“Vitamins” to the church office.
We would like to thank Angier Discount Drug for donating 100 bottles so we only
need to collect 400 more.
Other items that would be helpful to take are: travel size soaps, toothbrushes & paste,
hydrocortisone type creams, Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
Another way to help! If you
want to help support those
going to Guatemala one
way is through purchasing
Rada Cutlery. A brochure of items available is
in the office along with order forms. You may
also
order
on
line
at
www.HelpOurFundraiser.com (the Internet
ordering number is 505465 and the password
is Guatemala).
Feel free to share this
information with family, friends, neighbors, etc
as all proceeds go to help offset the cost of
the trip for our church members.

In the sanctuary, you will find prayer request forms in the back of
the pew in front of you. If you have a prayer request, drop it in
the silver vase beside the piano before or after the worship

want to be a prayer partner there are several opportunities for you. Contact the

Dear Church Family,
Thank you for ministering to our family during the
loss of our dear Daddy. The food, cards, visits and
prayers were an outpouring of your love which
encouraged us to be strong, have courage, and to have
peace that surpassed all understanding. We sincerely
appreciate the love you gave us.
