HELP NEEDED

Help needed:  There will be a Special Workday event on May 18^th from 9am till noon.

Painting outside window frames and outdoor cleanup will be the focus.

CPR TRAINING

CPR TRAINING:  Starting in May, our church will be offering three different types of CPR training.

      Class On May 19^th:  We will offer a 2-hour course that will focus on the first steps to take upon walking into a situation and the different scenarios you could be faced with, from choking to finding someone unconscious.

This will not be a certification class.  Class size will be limited to 10 people but there will be more classes offered if the interest is there.

        Class on May 19^th is called Hands Only, which goes into finding an unconscious person and what to do.  It does not go into AED use, or resuscitation, (breathing), for the victim.

These classes will be limited to 10 participants.  (More classes will be scheduled if more than ten people are requesting this class.)

 Class on June 30^th: This is a recertification class and is 4 hours long.  If you need to be certified in CPR this would be for you.  Extra classes will be scheduled if there is a need for more.

    All classes will start right after church service in the Fellowship Hall.   Sign-ups for these classes will be in the entranceway.

Depending on the number of people interested, we will schedule more classes.  If you have questions, please call Dennis Tubbs or Ande Tubbs at 607-739-7082

MAY HOUSE BANK FOR HUNGER

May House Bank for Hunger:  This event will continue throughout the month of May.

In the past, this collection has raised funds for worldwide hunger through UMCOR World poverty and Hunger, Bread for the World and to local hunger issues through Horseheads Food Pantry.

It has come to our attention that Meals on Wheels needs funds to meet the growing need for their services.  The mission committee has decided to give the funds raised this May to the local meals on wheels.

A wooden house bank will be in the narthex during the month of May, or you can place your gift in the offering plate.

Please indicate in the memo of your check or envelope the amount that is slated for the May House Bank.

The missions committee thanks the congregation in advance for your support.
