Food items were collected for Heart of the Hills Food Harvest. May 8th is Mother’s Day so no fellowship dinner so all Mothers can be with their families.

Each Tuesday is special prayer meeting and each Wednesday is Bible study. We are about to finish up the book of Genesis.
May is a busy month with Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and graduations, but June is also busy with camps at White River Campgrounds. This year, there will be four camps and Kiddie camp which is overnight with a parent. We are glad God has blessed with great facilities and many campers. Pastor Neal and LeaAnn will be Directors again this year. More about camps will be shared later.
