Mere Christianity Sunday School Elective: This class, led by Glen Landis,  will begin May 4.  Please see Pres Nowlin today if you need a book.  Used books were not available; new books will cost $11.00.

Spiritual Leadership Team:  In order to have more visibility and contact with the congregation, we have divided the congregation into fourths.   Each elder will be responsible for periodically contacting his assigned people to see how they are doing and to listen to any concerns.

The Greenwood Mennonite School Chorale and Ensemble, with forty members in grades 9-12, offer a wide variety of styles and musical periods, including hymn arrangements, classical literature, spirituals and contemporary worship music.  The program seeks to lead the listener in worship through song, Scripture verses, dramatic interpretation, and personal testimonies and to connect with all age groups through the message of God’s love and goodness. 

The Nativity Star, an important part of our Christmas witness each year, suffered a mishap during a recent wind storm.  If you would be willing to help in righting and repairing the star, please see Pat or Gene Hertzler.
