THANKS

Thanks go to Curt King and the trustees for preparing the land behind the church building for the playground and swale for water run off. A lot of dirt was moved in this project. Mulch was laid on the playground platform. This week the playground equipment and fence will be re-installed.

Thanks to all the Maple Grove Church Commission members for their participation in the Vision Casting Meeting on Sunday.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

MENNONITE DISASTER SERVICE is responding to the drought areas in PA. You can donate funds, hay, corn or corn silage to this cause. Call 717-768-4670 for more information. Farmers who want to donate corn or soybeans or other grains for draught stricken farmers in central PA can do so by delivering it to Hostetter Grain, Weaver’s Toasted Grain, or Risser Grain.

PRODUCE JUNCTION is in the foyer. Bring your excess garden produce to share with those in the congregation who do not have gardens. There is a table in the foyer to place the excess blessings from your gardens. Everyone is invited to take what they can use. Share the harvest!

THE SEWING CIRCLE is collecting hand towels and bars of soap (any size) for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). Please place your contributions in the box in the foyer.
