LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: Harvest Call sewing for this month will be on Tuesday, May 20th from 9-11am at the Fellowship Hall due to the funeral this Tuesday. May 31/June 1: Testimonies and baptisms for Kristen Rokey, Josiah Rokey, Kenton Glueck & Reilly Wiegand Our all-church potluck will be Sunday, June 1st at the Fellowship Hall at 4:30. Fried chicken, drinks, and tableware will be provided. Please bring a dish or two to share. Contact Bro. Nate or Sis. Emily Sauder with any questions. Save the date for the Father/Son campout on June 20th and 21st. All men and boys are invited. We would like everyone to know that we now have an additional tool for sharing prayer requests! It is an online prayer wall. In the past, the way prayer requests have worked are as follows: If somebody has prayer requests for the church, they would either contact one of the ministers or Sister Roxy, and it would get typed into a tool that would send out an email or a text, depending on the urgency of the request. The prayer request would go out to whoever is subscribed to that in our church. This has worked, and will continue to be an option, but the downside to that system is that when a request comes, it reminds you to pray for that individual, or that circumstance, and then it's kind of “gone”. Maybe you remember later to pray, or maybe you don't. The prayer wall that we've come up with is now active on our church website . If you go to the ministries section of our church website, you'll see a listing, “prayer wall”. When you click on the prayer wall and look at it, it will show you different requests that people have put out for either prayer or praise. These are visible, and you can read through them, you can pray for them, and there is even a spot where you can click “Amen”, and that will give a little boost of encouragement to whoever posted the request. They can go back and see that five people today prayed for their situation, or 10 people, or whatever the number is. It is nice because it gives feedback to them. It also will allow you as a church family to be a little bit more interactive or quickly get a prayer request out there. You can submit a request yourself, by clicking on the “add a prayer “ button. There is also an option to get notified of any new prayer requests. When you are on the prayer wall, you will see a little button that says, “watch” with a little eye on it. If you click that, it'll ask you to put in your email address. Once you put in your email address, it will then send you notifications when a new prayer request has come in. This is great if you are not in the habit of going there daily or weekly, you'll get a notification that somebody else from our church family submitted a prayer request. Please take the time to check this out. We think it will be a great asset to our congregation! Contact Bro. Brian or Sis. Lisa Rieke or Bro. Mike Zimmerman with any questions.
