Saving Lives in Haiti One of the initiatives of the La Gonave Partnership is to decrease the devastation of mother and infant deaths in Haiti (the highest in the Western Hemisphere). Simple, but effective, birthing kits include lightweight infant receiving blankets and "onesies" (newborn and 3-6 months) to reduce the loss of infant body warmth at birth. Pneumonia from common colds, total body infection from stubbed toes, and deadly fevers from mosquito borne illnesses can be avoided with basic, inexpensive medicines. The First (Scots) Haiti Health Mission departs Friday, April 22. Please prayerfully consider the donation of receiving blankets, "onesies," or a monetary contribution to assist in the purchase these supplies, made out to First (Scots) Church with attention to "Haiti Mission”. Donations may be placed in the bin under the Local Missions Bulletin board in the Molly Weir Hall reception area. "Beni Timoun Yu" ("Bless the children"-Haitian Creole)

Meals on Wheels Volunteers Needed The Meals on Wheels program is in need of volunteers! We deliver meals to older adults who live on the peninsula, many of whom are home-bound, have physical limitations, and/or are low-income. We are seeking volunteers to deliver one day per month. The time commitment is about 1 to 1.5 hours to deliver the meals. We also need volunteers to help during the summer (June, July, and August), when many of our volunteers are on vacation. This is a great opportunity for couples or friends to volunteer together or an easy lunch-hour volunteer opportunity for one person. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Elizabeth Bernat at elizbernat@att.net.

Regular & sugar-free jelly is needed for the Meals on Wheels Pantry. Due to the disabilities of our recipients, please send only small or medium sized jars. Thank you!

Retirement Announcement With much excitement and anxiety, Greg and I have decided to retire. We will be relocating to the beautiful Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia! We did not expect the door of opportunity to open this quickly but God opened that door and we will walk through in faith. Dr. Harvard and I talked about my staying until the end of the year but in prayer and discernment with my family, we have decided that it must happen soon. I will leave my post on June 30, 2016. My twelve years on staff as your Director of Educational Ministries has brought many blessings to my life. This church will always be near and dear to my heart. YOU ARE THE CHURCH and you have been a wonderful church family to be part of. Togeth-er we have seen many changes and more are on the way - but with God in control - it will ALL be GOOD! - Mary Robinson

questions.

The Seekers Circle will meet on Monday, April 11 at 7:15 p.m. at the home of Claire Eadon. Also employing the Bible

Ginny Thaxton if you have any questions.

The Unbroken Circle will meet on Tuesday, April 12 at 10:00 a.m. at the home of Joanne Zuraw. This group continues

Thank You, David and Jean On behalf of the congregation, the Session wishes to

express deep appreciation to David Hoskinson and Jean Marterre for the wonderful work they have done organizing and managing God's Gift Shop over the past twelve years. When David and Jean joined First (Scots) in 2003, they brought with them the vision, knowledge, and skills to begin a program in which they had participated as members of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC. They introduced us to God's Gift Shop one year later, and through their continued leadership, First (Scots) has not only gained a new perspective on what it means to celebrate Christ's birth, but has also ministered to hundreds, probably thousands, of God's children locally and abroad.

Now, after twelve years, David and Jean have decided to retire from God’s Gift Shop and will turn its leadership over to someone else. When you see them, thank them for their special contribution to the life of First (Scots). And if you feel called to help continue the work they have begun, please tell them or speak to one of our ministers.
