“A Man’s Role in Marriage” —Rev. Dr. Ramon E. McDonald, II
Communion
Scripture: Ephesians 5:25-31, 1 Corinthians 11:3
Marriage - What does the Bible have to say about a man’s role in
marriage? Does The Bible really give us a working idea of the roles of men
and women in marriage? Could that plan really work today?

Ladies,
For the Mother/Daughter dinner on Friday, May 8, we would like to put items on the tables
from 1940 to 1999. Nothing larger than a breadbox, please. These would act as centerpieces.
Please put your name or initials on your items that you loan us.
There will be a large box in the Narthex on Sunday to put your items in.
We will decorate the fellowship hall on Thursday, May 7 starting at 5:30 if you can come and help
arrange things it would be appreciated.
Thank you. United Methodist Women, F.U.M.C.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES SPRING CLEANING
In the spirit of working together to keep our
church building looking neat and inviting, the
Trustees would like you to know that there are
"Work Order Sheets" in the office.
If you see something around the building that
needs taken care of (i.e. such as trash pick up,
floors that need cleaned, etc. etc.) by Joe/
Trustees please fill out the form and return to
the box.
There are forms on the shelf in the office or in
the box that is on the table where the paper
cutter is located. Just fill it out, drop it in the
box, and we will get it taken care of.
Thanks again for all your help in keeping
things neat!!!

HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Fruit: To Peel or Not to Peel?
If you're tossing a fruit's edible peel, you're tossing fiber and nutrition, too. The peels of apples,
pears and most fruits with pits add interesting texture to recipes and contain valuable nutrients
and fiber. So go ahead, eat your peels.
