THANK YOU to all who participated in the Pavilion Raising this month, as well as contributed donations to the cause. We are so grateful of your financial contribution and those helped through physical labor to make this build happen! We can't wait to finish it and use it this summer!

Place spare change, or any other monetary donation if you feel led, into the baby bottle. All donations will go towards hope and resources for mothers in need through Precious Life in Johnstown.

Vacation Bible School is June 15-19 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. for children 3 years to 8th grade. This year we are teaching ESTHER!

Women’s Fellowship Ladies meet the second Thursday of the month for lunch. It will be Thursday, May 14 at Carlyn's in Windber at 12pm. Talk to Diane if you have any questions.

Fresh breakfast! Once a month the youth are endeavoring to cook a fresh breakfast for all who are interested. We plan to have eggs, freshly milled pancakes, bacon, toast, and more. Sunday, May 17, we would love to have you join us before Sunday school to prep and cook! If you are interested in helping students make this from 8:00-9:00 or donate to the breakfast, please let Jason know!

YOUNG ADULTS: Are you a young adult ... post high school to 30 something? This group meets every Thursday (or one Tuesday a month) at 6pm for dinner, brief devotion/prayer, and games, or craft! Some evenings they meet up at a restaurant, or go on a fun adventure in town! Connect with Jaymie or Jeanna for details for the next meeting.

"Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle."
