Guide Appreciation Dinner  Wednesday, May 7, 2008 6:30pm Good Shepherd Hall.  All volunteers (guides, substitutes, musicians, etc.) who helped with Sunday School and Confirmation this year are invited to an appreciation dinner.  Join us for dinner and conversation about how "things" went this year and how we might improve our education programs.  (You may even win a prize!)  This is an adults only event.  RSVP to Damian Burkhalter by Sunday, May 4, 2008.

Wednesday Gladness Suppers  The Wednesday Gladness suppers are back.  Sandy Eigenheer has graciously agreed to coordinate the meals on Wednesday evenings, but she needs your help.  We need donations, prep workers, servers and people to clean-up.  If you can help, please contact our church office or Sandy, so we can put you on the list.  Youth and adult helpers are welcomed!
