WE EXPRESS sympathy to Connie & George Altman, Marty & Barb Kaluf, Bud Musch, and all family and friends on the passing of our sister in Christ, Marge Kaluf. Marge went home to be with her Lord on Monday, April 29. Services were held here at church this past Friday. May God grant comfort during this difficult time.
TO ALL OUR VETERANS, if you have not in previous years submitted pictures for our Memorial weekend presentation, please turn in one military picture and one more contemporary picture to Tim Sietsma’s mailbox or email them to tim.sietsma@gmail.com. When emailing Tim, please put “Memorial Day Presentation” in the subject field. Also, please be sure to include the correct name spelling of the service person. The deadline to turn pictures/info in is next Sunday, May 12. We also ask that you check the list posted by the church office for accuracy in listing all our veterans and those currently serving our nation.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
This year’s theme is "Roar: Life is Wild, God is Good" and the dates are June 10-14. We look forward to having you join the fun! Register your kids or register to volunteer at demottearc.com or pick up a paper registration downstairs on your way to coffee. Crew Leaders and Assistants are needed and welcome to register!
Stop and check out the donation tags on the bulletin board on your way to the Fellowship Hall. Many items are needed! So, please take a tag.
Start saving your paper towel tubes for VBS! We will need many! Drop them in the VBS corner in the Fellowship Hall.
LET’S GET TOGETHER IS BACK! The Get Together program is designed to strengthen ties and promote fellowship and unity. They are one time get-togethers with a group of people from our church. They are also a great opportunity to invite newcomers who would like to meet a group of ARC people. Hosts choose the theme of the get-together: taco night, bonfire, cards, pizza, cookout, potluck, game night...! The committee will help generate a list of people and give invitations to the hosts to fill out and put in mailboxes. If one shows up in your mailboxes and it works out for you, join the fun! Thank you to those who have hosted events! More hosts are needed. If you would like to consider hosting, please call or text Kristi at 987-5195 or 219-964-9957 or Donna at 987-4289 or 219-739-9824 or pick up the information on the table in the kitchen hallway, fill out the host volunteer form and put it back in the tray marked “Get Together”. Let’s be deliberate in growing together as an ARC family.
