Persons coming for breakfast will receive a wrist

same time, a Chinese Auction will be set up and
you can buy tickets to bid on these items. Tickets
will be $1.00 each or $10.00 for 15 tickets. All you
will need to do is put your name on the tickets and
deposit them for the item you would like to try
winning. To win, you will not need to be present at
the time of the drawings. At noon, we will begin our
“bid” auction for some much desired gifts that will
go to the highest bidder. Also, members will be on
hand to show you around the new facility and
acquaint you with the new surroundings. Please
note: if you are interested in coming only for the
auctions and to see the facility, there will be no
charge.

ATTENTION: If someone from your family is
admitted to the hospital please notify the church
office immediately. Even though the hospital asks
about church affiliation, in most cases they do not
contact us. We certainly don’t want our saints
spending time in a hospital without prayer and a
visit.

a copy of the monthly birthday and anniversary
lists, feel free to stop in at the church office during
the week and request one.

ELECTRONIC GIVING:
We offer
Electronic Giving as a way to automate
your offerings. It is convenient for you
and provides much-needed consistency
for the church. Collection basket
offerings can fluctuate significantly from
week to week but when contributions are automated,
the church receives funds on a steady, uninterrupted
basis. Please visit the church website at
http://newleafumc.com and locate the donation link
where you can set up both recurring and one-time
contributions. Or, if you prefer, see Melinda in the office
for an authorization form. We thank you for your
continued support.
FOOD PANTRY REQUESTS FOR MAY AND
JUNE: 35 boxes of mac & cheese; 20 boxes or
bags of cereal; 35 bottles of shampoo; and 20 jars
of peanut butter. Thank you.
If you filled out a giving card on Consecration
Sunday and now need offering envelopes, please
let Melinda know or call the church office at 5932525. Thank you.
It’s SOFTBALL sign up time! Our co-ed team
plays ASA softball in a church league at Lakeview
Park on Tuesday or Thursday each week here in
Conneaut. Games will begin the week of May 25th
and continue through the beginning of August. Our
roster needs guys and gals! If you are interested,
do one of the following: Sign up on the sheet
posted on the bulletin board at church; get in touch
with Dana Quinn (593-4511); or get in touch with
Tim Baldwin (599-7340 or 855-0356 or
[email protected] on Facebook). We will hold
practice as soon as we get a few players lined up.
So let us know! Our plan has always been to have
fun and fellowship and that goal remains the same
this year. Please join us!
TEAM LEADERS: Please make sure that all of the
hall lights are turned OFF after your meetings are
done. Thank you.
