 ONCE AGAIN we welcome Rev. and Mrs. Scott Sailer as he proclaims the Word of God this day and leads us in Bible Study, preparatory to calling a new pastor.

THE KING AND HIS QUEEN, PART 2  In Bible study today, District President Sailer will lead us in considering more about the Queen’s (or Church’s) relationship, not only with her loving King, Jesus, who adores her and gave His life for her, but also with her shepherd and trainer (or Pastor).  There are obligations in this relationship for both the congregation and the pastor.  And guess what!  They’re all “saint-sinners”!

CONGREGATIONAL CHALLENGE - The 6th, 7^th and 8th grade Sunday school class would like to do an outreach project for the food pantry at Bethany Mennonite Church.  They would like to challenge the congregation to bring shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, men's and women's deodorant, and Kleenex.   Paper products are in high demand.  Something positive coming from St. Paul would be a good thing.  We would like to do it for the month of May.
