May is MAYTAG Month!!

Throughout the month of May
we are blessing the folks
around us by wearing
nametags. When you come
into church grab a nametag,
write your name on it and slap it on your chest. Then,
take every chance you can get to call everyone by their
first name!

ESL CLASSES HAVE

BEGUN!
Know anyone interested in
learning English or polishing
up their skills?
Pastor Dimas is leading a
class here at Memorial which meets in the Loomis Center
Tuesdays from 7:00 pm 8:00 pm. It is anticipated this
will run three-four months.

BLOOD DRIVE RESULTS!!

Rain?? What rain? We had
great results thanks to 26
donors (6 additional ones were

faces yay!!
Have a great summer and mark
your calendars for August 4th when well do it all over
again to help folks whose lives depend on your generosity.
