Announcements

Missions Globe Project The Missions Committee has chosen the Amani Community Church’s children’s ministries as the recipient of the mission globe offerings.  The Amani Community Church seeks to help children with school   supplies, shoes and children’s books.

Family Resources CEC  provides books for parents to use as tools for teaching their children about safe boundaries regarding themselves and relationships with others. These are not meant to just be handed to children and youth, but as  conversation guides for parents as they instruct their families. If you would like to have age appropriate books, ask Margaret Schrock for them. 

Toddler Time CEC will be offering Toddler Time during the morning worship   service for a 6 week trial period.  After the money bank   offering, toddlers ages  1-4 years old are invited to the nursery area for an age appropriate story time and play.  Toddlers will be brought back to the foyer area during the closing song to be claimed by parents!  If you have any questions, contact CEC members,   Cindy Hunt, Faith Slagell, Margaret Shrock, Susan Shantz, or Echo Shantz.

We just want to tell our amazing church family THANK YOU for all the prayers for Hunter when he had his skiing accident. We also want to thank the caring committee for their sweet gift- especially the mega stuff Oreos  (great idea Hein!). What a blessing to have prayer warriors because that’s all we needed during that time. We love you all and are so blessed to have you all in our lives.  — the Villines family
