Hello Church,
Graduation week in Marceline has begun!! Everything started last night with the Baccalaureate Service that was held in our Sanctuary. You can see a picture of the crowd in the bottom of the email. We had a great night, and it was good to be able to worship with our Seniors and their families.
We also have a lot of announcements for this week, so check them out below. Our Seniors for this year are:
Carter Vandeloecht, Breanna Teeter, Will Heller, and Sam Gillman.
We’ll have bags for gifts for them next Sunday.
Important Announcements
Sunday morning at 9am we are having a breakfast for the Seniors and their families.
We’re still looking for a few things for the breakfast. If you can provide one or more of the following, please reply to this email.
Egg Casserole or Breakfast Pizza
Fruit
Meat (sausage, sausage balls, ham, or bacon)
Bread item
This week is also Orpha Circle on Wednesday at 1:30. All ladies are invited to come. Pastor John will have the devotion, Eleanor Ravens has the program, and Margaret is the hostess. We are still collecting for Festival of Sharing Health Kits.
Sign-Ups
There are sign-up sheets in the back for Celebrate Recovery. This includes volunteer leaders for meals for the next six months. There is also a jar for monetary donations.
We also have a sign up for the Sharing Table for this Summer.
You can sign up to help water the garden this Summer in the back of the sanctuary, or go to Garden Watering. When you do that, check the box for the week(s) that you’ll water, then click submit and sign-up at the bottom of your screen. You don’t need an account to sign-up (but you can create one if you want).
Finally, we’re looking for folks that would like to serve communion and anyone who would like to help get the bread and the juice ready for communion Sundays. You can sign-up in the back of the Sanctuary, or by clicking here.

Parting Shot
It was great to see so many at Baccalaureate. Kathy Harlan did a great job speaking to the class, reminding them that they will always have hope through God, and that the best days of their lives are always coming, and can always be in the present moment too.
