Worship and Sunday School, April 15 to May 27, Recognizing Jesus on the Way. The worship services and adult Sunday School classes will follow Luke 24:13-36, the Road to Emmaus, as we reassess our relationship to the local and global world as a Mennonite congregation. Each Sunday during this time we will celebrate some form of communion as we participate in the presence of Jesus among us and at the meal in our gospel story. The great banquet on Easter and Pentecost Sundays (April 8 and May 27) is a time of offering bread, juice, and other fruit and sweets to all those who wish to eat. The love feast on April 15 and May 20 is a congregational fellowship meal with the bread and juice and some worship elements that is also open to all who wish to eat. The Lord’s Supper from April 22 to May 13 is a communion service that is open to all baptized believers.
Tuesday, June 5, 3 – 7 pm, Red Cross Blood Drive. Sign up on the bulletin board, the Red Cross will contact previous donors to set up an appointment, or you can contact the Red Cross directly by calling (574) 533-8083. The community is welcome to participate. Contact Donna Risser at Benton for other questions.
