Following Worship

From the Seed Planting Committee:

During the month of June, school supplies will be collected each Sunday.

Ø June 1: crayons, paints, pens and pencils

Ø June 8: backpacks

Ø June 15: rulers, erasers, glue and glue sticks

Ø June 22: notebook or filler paper, folders and binders

Ø June 29: Kleenex

Items will be distributed at the July 26 Kids Closet to help the parents in our community with back to school expenses.

Reach-In/Reach-Out will be doing a community picnic/ice cream social on Sunday, June 29, after worship. All we ask you to bring is your favorite pie or ice cream, we will supply burgers and hot dogs. There will be sack races, tug-o-war, a watermelon seed spitting contest and hopefully music in the gazebo. Invite new friends and old friends to this old fashioned town picnic. If anyone can help with cooking, music, or games please call Susie Bretz.

Have you ever wished we would sing YOUR favorite hymn during worship on Sunday morning? Perhaps that hymn evokes some special memory. Maybe the lyrics hold some special meaning. Perhaps the tune just touches your heart.

Whatever the reason, now is your chance to nominate that special hymn which means so much to you, because, on Sunday, June 29, the congregation of Memorial Presbyterian Church will be singing as many of your favorites as we can fit into the 10:00 a.m. worship hour.

Watch for the request sheets which will appear in our Sunday bulletins the first three Sundays in June. Then, plan on joining with us for a joyful Sunday filled with the music you love!

The Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the 2007-2008 school year scholarship recipients:
Megan Earhart is a 2007 graduate of Jefferson High School. Megan is attending IVY TECH in the 4 year nursing program.

Brad Spray is a 2006 graduate of McCutcheon High School. Brad is in his second year at PURDUE UNIVERSITY and is working toward a major in Law and Society with minors in Forensic Science and Religious Studies.

This ministry was established in 2000 by an anonymous donor. Since its inception, $35,000 has been awarded to college students through the Dayton Memorial Presbyterian Church Scholarship Fund. In order to qualify, applicants must meet as many of the following qualifications as possible:

demonstrate a need for financial assistance (most important)
be nominated by a member of the Dayton Memorial Presbyterian Church (does not have to be a member of the Dayton Memorial Presbyterian Church)
have graduated from a local high school
be enrolled in a four-year degree program

This year the Committee struggled mightily with deciding the recipients of the scholarship, because, worthy applicants outnumbered the available resources. If you or your family would like to contribute to the future education of young adults who are working hard to earn their college degree, you can do so simply by designating your gift to the “Scholarship Fund.” We will see that it is put to good use.

Our prayers and best wishes go out to all of Dayton Memorial’s students!!!

Scholarship Committee,
Cathy Hancook, Nancy Edwards, Jane Coleman and Rev. David Lindemer
