I hope that you had a blessed fourth Sunday in Easter.
This past Sunday, we had 11 people in worship, I believe. I hope that we can bump that number up more as more of us get vaccinated. (I get my 2nd one in about a week!)
Yesterday we had 6 people come to the crafters group. I called it "Casual Crafters" in the bulletin, but that's just a working title. It was great to see folks come with their "projects," including a jigsaw puzzle! There are no rules as to the kind of creative project you can bring.
BTW - if you are looking for a jigsaw puzzle, we have had a Santa Claus one in Fellowship Hall just waiting for you to help put a few pieces together.
This Week:
Tuesday at Noon in Fellowship Hall: Yoga! Bring your mat and we will settle down for about 30 minutes on your lunch break.
M, W and Fridays at 10:00AM, starting in the kitchen, Exercise, Eat and Pray.
This Wednesday at Noon in Fellowship Hall - the Dutch Treat Dames return. Bring your own lunch, or coordinating sharing one with a friend.
Upcoming Dates:
This Sunday is Communion Sunday! Please prepare to celebrate with me.
Sunday, May 9th after church is our next Session Meeting.
Sunday, May 24th after church is the next Deacons' Meeting
Communion Service to you in your home: Have you been missing communion in church lately, or have not been feeling well enough to come? Let us bring the church to you. I can, along with an elder or deacon, bring communion to your home during the week of Communion Sunday. You do NOT have to be a church member. Just call me at 575-708-0860 and I will schedule a time to come see you.
Prayers Please:
Dorothy Randals - for her continued comfort and care
Fay Birch - stage 4 cancer. Prayers for help and comfort for her and her husband, Larry
Susie Martinez - awaiting word on whether she will need eye surgery, and on trouble with her foot
Elmer Schuster - multiple upcoming dental procedures - pray for his comfort and safe travels back and forth
Lucy Jasper (Susie Martinez's) cousin - Alzheimer's/Dementia
Luann & Bruce Haas and Randy Schuster - 2 week trip to Honduras - for their safety
Francis - Ryan's grandpa - cleared to travel
Glenda Coles' sisters, Betty, who is paralyzed and Dolores, who has Alzheimers
Sharon and Wayne Huffman - overall health
For those discerning a call to new ministries - maybe some of you!

Please lift all of these folks high in your prayers! And please let me know if there is anyone I should add to our prayers. May God guide you and bless you this week.
Hugs and blessings,
Rev. Amy
