LIBRARY NEWS: In honor of Mothers' and Fathers' Days, the library is highlighting books on honoring
God in the challenges of family life. Looking for advice? There's lots of it. Need to forgive or perhaps
to celebrate. There's that too. Come and see. Please remember to check out materials properly.
Several books and DVDs have gone missing, and without a signed card, we don't know whom to ask
about them. (There are no late fees. Just bring them back, and all will be forgiven.)
HOPE2OTHERS (H2O): How can we help the homeless or hungry on the street? H2O bags provide a
simple gift to carry in your car and hand out to someone with a "homeless and hungry" sign.
Nonperishable food and the good news of Jesus provide tangible hope. Suggested donation: $3/bag.
Note on check or cash envelop memo: H2O bags. Our deacons will process through Benevolence. Visit
the H2O table by Pastor Carl's Study.
NEPAL EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE - World Renew(WR) is responding to the worst disaster to strike the
country of Nepal in 80 years. World Renew is already working with Christian Reformed World
Missions as well as two local partners to provide safe water, emergency food, cooking fuel, and tents
to earthquake survivors. WR hopes to be involved in longer-term programs with other partners as
funding allows. Join us! Please call 1-800-552-7972, visit www.worldrenew.net/donate or mail your
gift marked, "World Renew Nepal Earthquake," to World Renew, 1700 28th St. SE, Grand Rapids, MI,
49508. God of love and justice, open our hearts and prompt us to action.
EARLE SEZ: Please add a message and sign your name (first name only) on the “Thank you Veteran”
cards in the foyer. Think about something extra special you can write to a man or woman vet in
HOSPITAL BED, a LONELY ROOM, tired and, by now, down-in-the-dumps. And don’t forget the 3rd
world and hungry and sick – pray for one – dig down for our World Renew aid. You will get a good
feeling when you do this, so be ready. Thx. Ed. P.S. I will mail the cards in.
