and pet lots of animals and pick yummy strawberries!
Our family fun day is Wednesday , May 22nd. We will play with bubbles, sidewalk chalk, have water play, face painting and
enjoy a pizza lunch!
Also this year, our Founder and four’s teacher, Betsy Sink, is retiring. Please join us in a Reception honoring Betsy on Sat-

After a beautiful Easter Season, we turn the calendar to May! Thanks be to God for
another opportunity to reach out in missions to serve women, youth and children
throughout the world. What will our service to Him look like during this Spring sea-
son. Will we renew our faith, hope and love and put it into ACTION? Let us all collec-
tively proclaim: YES, by God’s Grace and Mercy! We have celebrated our 150 year Legacy and are
challenged to begin the next 150 years with strength and commitment.
Each woman in God’s church is called to come join our efforts. Together we can better serve our God.
New ideas of how we can better serve are always welcomed.
We’ll gather for fellowship, good food and a fun auction with our resident auctioneer,
Doreen Horlick, on Thursday, May 16 at 6:00 p.m. Bring a ‘treasure’ to auction and come
enjoy the FUN! This is a fundraiser for our mission projects.
YOU are an important part of our future Legacy. Is God calling you to join us in service to his people?
Through your Prayers, Presence and Perseverance WE Together will SERVE our communities; locally
and globally.
