Tedrow Mennonite Church Announcements The Leadership Team has asked Dan Sauder to fill the vacant role of Elder, and if affirmed by the congregation, Dan has agreed to serve the remaining portion of Julie Crossgrove’s term. Dan was asked because he was the remaining nominee left on the ballot for the last election for Elder. A vote of affirmation will be taken in 2 weeks on Sunday, July 30th during the Worship Service. If there are any questions or concerns, please direct them to a member of the Leadership Team. Thank you. The Agape class will be hosting a service night at Bruce and Chris Holland’s on Monday, beginning at 6 pm. There are several projects to work on: trimming branches from trees, cleaning the barn, staining the back deck, and trimming and pulling some bushes. Please bring any necessary equipment and gloves. Pizza and pop will be provided around 7:30 pm. Please let Ron and Jody know if you’ll be there so they will have an accurate count for the food. Office Administrative Assistant Needed: We are looking for someone who would give a couple hours each week to attend to the necessary administrative tasks. If you are interested in serving the church in this way or want to learn more about what this role would entail, please talk to one of the members of the Leadership Team (Gene Goering, Jerry Rupp, Ryan Nafziger or Doug King). Save the date: August 12th & 13th ~Tedrow Community Days Saturday from 4-8 pm includes live music, burgers, hotdogs, chips, ice cream and games (whiffle ball, corn hole, kick ball, bubble soccer, and a dunk tank). Sunday morning worship at 10 am followed by a potluck lunch.

The Sunday school children are collecting money for the summer quarter to give to the CPC Women’s Health Ministry. If anyone would like to help fill the baby bottle up, please feel free to put coins, dollars, or checks in the bottle in the foyer before church each Sunday. Thank you for helping us save babies’ lives!!

Our silent auction has offered a variety of items in the past. Please help by donating a couple items.

Items can be dropped off at Shalom’s Archbold or Bryan office Monday-Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, or items may be brought the morning of the event. Searching for an exciting way to serve? Mennonite Central Committee is looking for a Canner Operator, at least 21 years or older, to travel with the Mobile Meat Canner. Canner Operators travel to 30 different locations in the United States and Canada, canning meat, which is then sent around the world to hungry people. Having a CDL or truck driving experience is preferable. Come serve in this exciting way! Meet new people, and take advantage of experiences you’ll never forget. For more information please contact John Hillegass at [email protected] or (717) 8591151 and visit canning.mcc.org.
