ANNOUNCEMENTS
MISSION PROJECT: The Mission Department has completed a Food Bag project and will donate the 100 filled brown lunch sacks to Harvester. Judy Massenburg coordinated this project. The Shopping Team of Judy Jackson, Machella Rogers, and Mary Webb purchased the needed food items. The Bagging Team of Sharon Gordon, Ozella Jones, Anita Lenoir, Machella Rogers, Mary Webb, and Cheterria Williams made fast work of it with an assembly line. Each sack included items such as a whole grain item, canned chicken salad, juice box, bottle water, packaged raisins, fruit cup, and granola bar. Deborah Webb Stephens, our adopted Mission member, will deliver the bags to the Harvesters facility which in turn will distribute the sacks to individuals. Much appreciation to all who participated or donated funds to the Mission. Pictures of the project are posted in the Gallery.
GRADUATES: Congratulations to our high school graduates: Claude Arnick III and LaNaya LeDoux. Best regards to Kayla Jones, the granddaughter of Sis. Ozella Jones, who graduated from Pittsburgh State this year with a Biology Degree. Their pictures are in the Gallery section.
ART AWARD: Sister LaNaya LeDoux placed second in an Office of Kansas Youth art contest. She will be attending the Kansas City Art Institute starting in August this year. Her winning art submission is in the Gallery.
