On May 10 the Susanna Wesley Circle will sponsor their annual Ladies’ Luncheon. We will have 2 guests from EDGE Ministries telling us about their experiences in Romania and Costa Rica. Pastor Gary and Ray Barrickman will provide music. Please plan to attend, and invite your mother, daughters, aunts, cousins, neighbors, teachers, and friends. There is no charge for tickets, but a love offering will be taken for EDGE. Reservations will be needed. Call Carole or leave a comment on this site.

The Ministries Council is sponsoring a yard sale on May 17, 8 AM-1PM to support our missions outreach. Tables are available for rent with 2 options: $5 and 10% of your proceeds, or $10 flat fee. If you just want to donate goods to be sold, they can be left in the back downstairs classroom in the education building. We will need volunteers on Friday, May 16 at 4PM to do pricing. And we need volunteers on Saturday morning as early as 7 AM to carry things out and set up. And don’t neglect to come out and shop! (PS A clean-up crew will be needed at 1). We can’t succeed without YOU!

The Lay Leadership Team will be hosting a luncheon after morning service on Sunday April 20th. Besides good food and fellowship, there will be opportunity to take the spiritual gifts survey. This is an important part of Shiloh’s efforts to help people get connected into a ministry that uses their gifts. The survey takes about 20 minutes to fill out and it is painless. If you haven’t had the opportunity to take the survey, this will be the perfect opportunity!

A lunch bible study is starting February 5th that will run through Lent. More information will be posted about the study.
This is a great way to spend your lunch, good food, good fellowship and God’s word. See or call Pastor Gary for information or leave
a comment.

This month we will have several children’s outreach events —Preston Highway, Breath of Life, and Shiloh. The children will make “gingerbread houses” out of graham crackers and candy. Each event needs “elves” for 2 purposes: help walk neighborhoods and hand out invitations, and to build the structure of the houses for the children to decorate later. We all want to cooperate and help in each other’s events.

Dec 8—1 PM Breath of Life—hand out flyers
Dec. 15—10 AM at Breath of Life—make houses
Dec. 17—Noon at Shiloh— hand out flyers
Dec. 22 —12:30 at Shiloh—make houses.
