PASTOR'S MESSAGE
This Pentecost Sunday, we will be reminded that the Spirit blows new life into "Dry Bones." In this Children's Musical, the Junior and Cherub choirs will share visions of hope from the story of Ezekiel. We will also be concluding our UCC Mission 4/1 Earth project this Sunday, so bring your timecards and money for trees for Afghanistan.
I'm sorry I will not be with you on Sunday. I am going to Massachusetts for a niece's graduation from college. Have a great day.
Mary

SILENT AUCTION
It's Silent Auction Fun-Raiser time again during the first three Sundays in June! Bill Ferdinand and Ed Bradley are soliciting donations which focus on fun, fellowship, food of the season and selected gift items. If you see either of them approaching, please don't turn and run, but more importantly please contact them with your ideas or offers. Ideas to consider: a boat or kayak outing and picnic, dinner-a-month for two for a year, dessert-a-month for a year, or use of your cabin or camp for a weekend. Thanks for your help and creativity.
