WOMAN'S SPIRITUALITY CIRCLE will meet May 7th and 21st at 7:00 p.m. in the Student Center.

SECOND SUNDAY SHARING is also on May 13th. and we will be collecting food items for the food pantry. Thanks to all who contributed to the adopted families' Easter Baskets. And especially to those who spent part of Good Friday delivering the baskets. Your generosity helped make our families' Easter special.
UTO SPRING INGATHERING - Women of the church are reminded to bring their United Thank Offering "blue box" offerings on Sunday, May 20th. These moneys are used worldwide to fund worthwhile projects in the church. Our own Student Center was built with UTO money!
HONDURAS HABITAT MISSION - The time has finally arrived! A group of eight, including David Lewis, Brian Arnett, Suzy Calvert, Nancy Gault, Jane Greenwood, Benji Hall, Daniel Oakley, and Elizabeth Wheatley will be going to Honduras to build houses at the Project for Living outside of San Pedro Sula during the week of May 24-31.
SWIMMING POOL CLEANUP - It will soon be time to get the pool cleaned up and ready to go. If you enjoy using the pool, please do your share by helping ready the pool for the season and by contributing to the pool fund. The pool operates independently from the church budget and depends on contributions to pay for chemicals and maintenance. A family membership fee of $75.00 is suggested. Watch for details on clean up dates! Remember, our rules are simple but must be observed: no swimming alone, children must be accompanied by an adult, parishioners must accompany guests, no glass containers, and take your trash home with you. The garbage man does not make pool side pickups. Let's get ready for a wet and wild summer at Resurrection!
