Fill Our Tanks: Summer is now upon us, and the Jr. High trip to RYM Texas will be here before we know it. We need your help getting down the road with our "Fill Our Tanks" fundraiser. Like last year, we will travel via vans, and it will take 16 total tanks to get us there and back. Consider donating $20 for a quarter tank, $40 for a half, or $80 for a full tank, but any donation is greatly appreciated. You can drop your donations in the gas can at the Welcome Desk.

Bloodmobile: The Red Cross will hold a blood drive at the First Reformed Church in Edgerton on Monday, June 17, from 12:30 until 6:30. Please call Betty at 507-227-8416 or fbhuisken@gmail.com to make or confirm an appointment. There is a constant need for blood. Every two seconds, someone/somewhere in the U.S.A. needs blood. Anyone 16 years or older and in good health can donate.

Jr. High RYM Volunteers:  We are looking for two people willing to pick up and drop off the rental vans for our trip so that our drivers do not have to spend extra time in the car before and after the trip. Drivers must be available at 6:30 a.m. on July 30 and roughly 8:00 p.m. on August 5. Talk to Pastor Mark to volunteer.

 ATLAS: The ATLAS Always Growing Greenhouse is closed for the season. Thank you for supporting the greenhouse and ATLAS ministries. God has richly blessed this fundraiser with beautiful flowers, plants, customers, conversations, and prayers. To see the beautiful details of each flower and plant is to know and declare praises to our Heavenly Father and creator!
