    Ladies Fellowship Rummage, Bake Sale, and Sloppy Joe Lunch was a huge success!
 
We raised $1,834.76 on the Rummage, $1,339.80 on the Bake Sale and sold one cookbook, $15.00.  The total on the Rummage and Bake Sale was $3, 174.56.  Awesome job!
 
Thank You to the following who helped setup, worked the sales, and packed up/cleaned up: Ed, John,  Brad, Ted, Randy, Steve, Marcia, Bonnie, Debbie, Maryann, Shelly, Pam, Delois, Jordan, Beth, Elaine, Jane, Norma, Toni, Katie and Lincoln.  We also would like to thank all the bakers for their wonderful baked goods, our sloppy joe makers Maryann and Maxine, and to those who helped out financially covering items needed for the lunch or bake sale.  Your help is always greatly appreciated and we could not do the fundraisers without all your help.
 
Thank You to all who gave!  $351.79 was raised for Pennies for Patients (Berrien County Cancer
Services).  These monies stay in Berrien County to help serve those with cancer and related illnesses.  Berrien County Cancer Services assists those in our community through their compassionate in-home skilled nursing care and supportive services such as their resource closet, nutritional supplements, and Art Play workshops for families impacted by cancer.  We have a Pennies for Patients Jar on the table in the Narthex.  Please feel free to contribute any time throughout the year.  We all know this is an ongoing need that needs our support.
 
Ladies Fellowship will meet again starting in the fall.  Our first meeting date is Sept. 8th, 2025 at 1pm in the Narthex (note: 2nd Monday due to Labor Day).  All ladies are welcome.  Enjoy your
summer!
 
God’s Blessings,
 
Marcia Koehler & Diane Dasse

Letter from Church Council Moderator

Dear Church Family,
 
I hope you're all enjoying summer so far — whether that means traveling, spending time with family, or just soaking up the sunshine.
 
We wanted to share a quick update on a couple of important things happening at church. First, the Pastoral Search
Committee has started interviewing candidates! This is an
exciting step, and we’re hopeful as we continue the process of finding the right person to lead and walk alongside us.
 
We’re also interviewing candidates for the Office Manager position. It’s a key role that helps keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and we’re looking forward to finding someone who’s a great fit for our community.
 
As always, we’re grateful for your support and prayers during this time of transition. Please keep the search teams — and the candidates — in your thoughts.
 
Wishing you a peaceful and joyful July!
 
Blessings,
Jess Machiniak
Moderator
