Announcements April 14, 2024

The clothes sorting at Kalona that was rescheduled for this Friday has been rescheduled again.  Monday evening from 6-9 is the new time.  Feel free to come and go as it works for you - as we know it's a school night. All help is appreciated! A snack is served. 


We are preparing for the annual VBS to be held this year the week of June 10-14th at the Fellowship Center.  We will need volunteers to teach and bring cookies.  You will find the sign-up sheets posted on the women’s bulletin board.  If any questions please contact Bro. Roger or Sis. Rhonda Reker.


The Minneapolis church is beginning a remodel of their lower level where their Sunday school and fellowship center are, and has requested volunteer help from the regional churches including Mediapolis.  The project consists of reframing the exterior walls to address water issues which will require redoing much of the Sunday school area, remodeling bathrooms to meet code, remodeling the kitchen, and replacing interior doors to meet fire code.  Plumbing and electrical will be hired to meet state requirements, but opportunities to help with demolition, framing, drywall, painting, flooring, and finish work will be made available as the project progresses.  They will be using signup genius to post these volunteer opportunities where you can sign up to help. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4BAFAA2CA3FFC52-47709102-remodel

The first opportunities are April 20 for demolition and May 9-11 for some framing work. After that they will be waiting on subcontractors before the next opportunity is available. They hope to have the Sunday School rooms completed by Labor Day and the entire project by year end.  If you have any questions contact Bro. Ryan Frank.


Next Sunday evening is the quarterly potluck and singing at the Fellowship Center.  I have asked Bro. Colin and Sis. Barb Wagenbach to share a few experiences from the HarvestCall winter work project this year before the singing.  We will follow that with a shortened singing.  Supper begins at 5:00 and HarvestCall sharing at 6:45.


Reminder:  The collection for this month is for the Brotherhood Operations fund.   Please give your contributions to Bro. Jerry Wagenbach or place in the special collection box.
