Thanks to everyone who contributed in some way to the succes of this year's CROP Hunger Walk. The recent Wabash County CROP Walk raised just over $7,900 for Church World Service to use in fighting hunger and poverty world wide. On a wet, cold day, 79 people walked, as many do worldwide, walking daily for food, water and firewood regardless of the weather.   Forty eight participated in North Manchester while 31 walked the Wabash city route. Manchester Church of the Brethren had the most walkers with 18, who had support from many more members of our congregation.

Elizabeth Schilling's open house is Saturday, June 11, from 5-9 at our house: 106 S. Merkle Street.

The Family Life Center is open from 8 to 10 am for walking and exercise.

Walkers please use West FLC door

       7:00 pm   Room 213 in use      

 

The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Indiana Department of Education. This is a safe, fun way for children to get nutritious meals when school is not in session. Contact Becky Landis, Food Service Manager, 982-7518

This summer, in addition to their Sunday morning worship service, Eel River Community Church of the Brethren will be adding a weekly worship service on Wednesday evenings at Warvel Park in North Manchester.  The Wednesday night services will begin at 5:30pm with a potluck and fellowship, followed by a “nontraditional” worship in the pavilion nearest to the Scout Hall.
The potluck will be provided by members of the church and is available to anyone who might be wandering by, is curious about what is happening or would just like a bite to eat.  Each person is encouraged to bring his or her own plate, utensils, and beverage, plus a dish to share.  

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

We want to share this announcement of our 47th Anniversary. We have a big Worship open to all our brothers and sisters from different churches and communities coming to join us the next Sunday, June 5. We also have other days to celebrate in June. It's good to know that there are so many people rejoicing with us in the distance as you.

 

With wishes of Blessings and Peace,

On Behalf Emmanuel, 

Esther Acosta
