Thoughts to Ponder

“Blessed are those who need Him enough to know God enough to love God enough to know God is enough.”        Beth Moore (James—Mercy Triumphs, p.90)

Opportunities to Grow, Serve & Share

On Saturday, April 28^th the youth and adults of Britton, Claremont & Hecla are invited to participate in packaging food for starving children around the world at “Kids Against Hunger” in Aberdeen. We will be working from 10am to 12 noon. Set aside this time on your schedule and be part of this mission event. I pray that we will be able to go “en mass” and be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who will receive the food. 

On Sunday, April 29^th a joint worship service is being planned. It will be held at Britton UMC and the service will be followed by a potluck meal. Beverages & plates will be provided by the host church. The worship team would also like to invite volunteers to join together from the three churches to present special music during worship. Please let Pastor Nancy or members of the worship team know if you would like to participate (Pam Moeckly, Vicki Renner, Vergie Wallace, Bev Dinger, Stephanie Frohling, Kathy Heinrich, Yvonne Gibbs, Carol Hanse, Geri Rasmussen & Judy Pierson).
