This Sunday is Mothers Day, and Bible Presentation Sunday! For all mothers, and for all who love us like a mother, we give thanks to God. Sunday, we will be presenting Bibles to children finishing Kindergarten and Fourth Grade. (Are you looking for a good Bible to share with your children? Reebee can recommend some good ones - for infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, elementary, and tweens.) After the Bible presentations, our younger kids will have Sunday School with Margaret and Terry. They will be baking resurrection buns - a fun way to keep the Easter story going - as well as having a lesson. If your child has a food allergy, wont you contact Terry at terry.hackford@gmail? SUNDAY: MOTHERS HELPERS 9:30am - 11:30am. Confirmation News Confirmation Sunday is May 18! Come support our six confirmands. Please support Izzy Link, Ava Waitz and Jamie MacDonald in their Confirmation Service Project: Emerge Global Emerge Global is a non-profit that supports Sri Lankan girls, age 10-18, who have been removed from their homes due to past abuse or the threat of abuse. Emerge equips these girls with skills and resources for their futures, using a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes leadership, life skills, and business knowledge, while simultaneously generating a financial foundation for each program participant through the creation of unique jewelry. The jewelry is sold around the world with 50% of the selling price going back to the girls individual savings accounts so that when they turn 18 the girls have money to take care of themselves and, in some cases, their children. The remaining 50% covers the cost of materials and product distribution, so that Emerge can support the healing of more survivors. We will be selling bracelets and necklaces made by the Emerge girls at Coffee Hour. Please come by an support this great cause. It makes a great Mothers Day gift. Congratulations to Pastor Emilia!
