Penny
Power Offering for the MCC Sale: Any change you can give will go towards aid
for drought stricken Zambia by building dams that will help provide safe
drinking water. $15 pays for one bag of
cement and each dam requires 30 bags.
Baked
Goods for the MCC Sale: If you would like to bake pies, rolls,
cookies, or coffeecake pick up the pans and labels in the library area. List all ingredients you use on the tags
provided. Pies are rolls are needed the
most because they sell out quickly. See
Roger or Joanne Roth for more information.
Iowa Mennonite School
Baccalaureate and Commencement: Baccalaureate services will take place
Saturday, May 19, at 6 pm; Commencement exercises will take place the following
evening, May 20, at 6 pm. All are
invited to attend the services.
The annual music student fundraiser, "Hymn Sing Hustle, 5K
and 1 Mile Fun Run and Walk" is scheduled for Saturday, June 23 at IMS, 8:00 am. 5K
= $20 and 1 Mile = $10. If you want to help a specific music student,
please seek out that student and register through them. If you want to
help out the general group of all music students, then please register without
giving a specific student name. You can download a registration form from
the IMS Web site under Music/Drama", or email Karenza Yoder at iowamennonitemusic at gmail.com to get a registration form.
All profits from this fundraiser go directly to the IMS students to help them
pay for music festivals and trips. Pre-register by June 2 to ensure a
t-shirt, and race fees increase by $5 each after June 2.
Mark your calendars for Saturday,
June 9, when Iowa Mennonite School will
host an evening of music! The
music will be provided by local churches: solos, groups, ensembles,
choirs, etc. We're asking each church to provide one or more
"entries", and to contact Larry Swartzendruber at IMS to register
your group. It is NOT a contest, but rather an evening of musical
enjoyment. Of course all are invited
to attend the event; it will include
a fund-raising offering in support of IMS' Annual Fund.
Please check the poster on the bulletin
board for more specific information.
