Prayers and Praise of the Congregation
Ken Denlinger had an unexpected stay in the hospital to remove fluid. He's
home now and doing good! Thanks for your continued prayers! We hope to
see you soon! Blessings, Ken and Bev Denlinger
We remember in prayer those in our congregation who are unable to join
us on Sunday mornings, but have an important place in our church
community. This morning we specifically remember Landis Sangrey, Rhoda
H. Nolt, Clayton and Mabel Bowman, and Charles Hess.
To know Jesus, to be like Him,
to make Him known.

Membership Exploration If you would like to explore becoming a member
here at Mellinger, Pastor Joe is offering two Sunday gatherings after worship.
These gatherings are a way to hear more about our church family and to
consider if making a commitment to the church family is something you would
value. You are free to choose which Sunday suits your schedule. A noon meal
will be provided. The dates are April 12 and April 19. A sign-up sheet is in
the lobby.
Hosts Families Needed I have organized a tour for up to 30 people that is
connected to Mennonite World Conference. The tour is focused on visiting
Mellinger family farms. Would you be interested in hosting tour guests for the
nights of Friday, July 17; Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19? We are also
looking forward to these guests being in worship with us Sunday morning,
July 19. Hosts would provide breakfast and bring their guest(s) to the church
by 8 am and pick them up around 7:30 pm each day. A sign-up sheet is in the
lobby to indicate your openness to hosting. An overview of the tour is also
available in the lobby.
An evening of music featuring Mackenzie Brubaker and friends, is planned for
Sunday evening, April 19, 2015 at 6:30 pm., here at Mellinger. A free will
offering will be taken to raise money for our youth to attend the July Mennonite
World Conference in Harrisburg. Invite your family and friends to this concert
and help support our youth.
The Mellinger Affinity Group registration! Many of the existing groups are
going strong and will continue through the 2015-2016 year. New groups will be
added and we are open for suggestions! Please contact Joanne Kuniholm if you
have an idea for an Affinity Group.
Connections is for women of all ages and meets on Tuesday mornings.
This week Joe & Yvonne Garber will speak candidly on Keeping the Fire Burning
in a Marriage.
This morning our offering will go toward congregational ministries unless
otherwise designated. Next Sunday our offering will go toward the work of
Eastern Mennonite Missions unless otherwise designated.
Parent and Preschool Chick-fil-A Spirit Week is this coming week. Use
your flyer March 30th through April 4th for the Parent and Preschool Center to

visit with us from 5:00 - 7:00 pm on Tuesday March 31st. Also you can spin the

Road Café. He will be giving an update on him YWAM assignment, and share
especially, about his time leading a team in Cambodia.
