We will be celebrating communion together on Sunday, July 5, during our morning worship service. Please take time to reflect on the meaning of communion and come ready to celebrate the sacrifice Jesus has made for us. Swiss Village Residents: For members of First Mennonite living at Swiss Village who wish to participate in communion next Sunday, the elements will be available at the front desk the day before communion.

You can apply for this scholarship if you are a high school senior or college graduate, are a member of First Mennonite, and if you apply one month prior to your voluntary service. Some examples of service: short-term missions trip, church camp counselor, MDS team, etc. You can pick up your application and a copy of the guidelines in the church office.

Kids Volunteers Needed: The following spots are open in the children’s department: Preschool children’s church teacher, preschool children’s church helper, elementary children’s church teacher, and ages 4-Kindergarten Sunday school teacher. If you are at all interested, please see Chris Hyman for job descriptions and/or to observe to see if this is a good fit for you. All of these are scheduled only once a month.

Family Devotional: PARENTS, pick up God’s Story: A Summer in the Gospel Together, a family devotional with prayer prompts, memory verses, and fun activities to create simple discipleship moments with your kids and to help your kids see the bigger story of the Gospel.
