you have a son or daughter who is currently in 5th grade up through 11th grade,
please e-mail Jeremy at office@lakecitycrc.org with the following information as

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO THE G.A.L.L.A.H. (Girls And Love Lending A Hand) GOLF
OUTING! 18 Hole Golf Scramble on July 11 with a 9am shot gun start at Missaukee
Golf Club. This event is sponsored by the Lake City Woman’s Club to support
local families in sudden crisis. You may register or sponsor a 4-person team for just
$60 per person. This can be a mix of men and women. If an individual or business
would like to donate items or sponsor a hole, please contact Lisa Ashton, Barb
DeBoer, Barb Elliott or Janet Kolhagen. All sponsors will be recognized at the
event. A flier is posted on the church bulletin board in the narthex hallway. Fliers
and registration forms are available at the golf course.
LOST AND FOUND ITEMS & DISHES: Please check the Lost and Found (in the
Narthex by the mailboxes) and the kitchen for dishes and claim items that
belong to you. Any items not claimed by June 1 will be taken to Friends Ministry.
BACK PACKS FOR KIDS: Will be providing food packs to children throughout the
summer months. You can help feed hungry kids by donating food items such as
granola bars, oatmeal, individual macaroni/cheese cups, and canned pasta/
meat (a complete list is available at the Back Packs for Kids cart). You can also
help fill food packs on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at 1:15pm. Make
a difference in a child’s life! Contact Jennifer Pugh for more information.
SUMMER SOFTBALL: Our church is forming a co-ed team to play slow-pitch
softball on the Falmouth Church League. We will be playing on Wednesday
nights this summer. If you are interested, contact Keith or Aldyne Ebels.
ATTENTION LADIES! Your Women’s Ministry Team has a “Meals-for Mom’s” ministry
and also offers baby showers for all first born babies in the church family. Our
church is growing rapidly and we really don’t want to miss any new babies!
Please help us out by notifying the church office when your baby is born. We will
announce it to the congregation (if wanted) and will get your “meal train”
started. We truly love serving moms and families in this way and we would hate
to leave anyone out. Thanks!
BABY ITEMS: Our Baby Item Project is running now until June 21. There is a Play
Pen in the narthex to drop off your donated items in. These items will be
dispersed as needed by the Maternal Support Program through the Missaukee
County Health Dept. They will be giving the items to new moms in the
community. Please note: Food items are NOT needed.
WORK HARD, PLAY HARD PROJECTS: The youth are looking for small jobs to help
with this summer such as cutting and hauling wood, raking and other yard work,
house cleaning, etc. If you have a job you would like help with contact Bob
Clark.
