SPRC would like to thank those of you who have sent welcome greetings to Pastor Emily. She has been so pleased to receive piles of letters, cards and notes from you. Please continue to send her notes in the month of June according to the group schedule. YOU are a part of a great welcoming church!!!

Please plan to attend Pastor Lennie and Carolyns farewell gathering on Sunday, June 24th right after worship in the Fellowship Hall. We will start with a potluck dinner (please bring your favorite dish to share) and there will be a short program afterwards. Drinks and table service will be provided by the Fellowship Team. Please plan to attend to say goodbye and send your best wishes with the Maxwells.

We are in the process of planning the July 1st Worship Celebration of Pastor Emilys first day of her ministry in our church. Please plan to attend to meet Pastor Emily and her family at 10:45 am! We will be having our traditional Ice Cream Social with them in July after they have settled in the parsonage. Submitted by Susan Childs, SPRC Leader

I sCREAM FOR HOPE This Republic County recognition of those who have fought or are fighting cancer will be held June 2 at the city park. This year hamburgers, beans and chips have been added to the homemade ice cream and cookie menu. The hamburgers are a donation from H&T Ranch. Serving will begin at 5:00 pm with entertainment at the bandshell to follow. Joan Grover reports that she is still in need of volunteers to make some ice cream or cookies. Please contact her at 527-5379 or 527-1091. Freewill offering will be taken with proceeds going to ACS.

"Chabadza", a Shona word which roughly translates to people in relationship working alongside each other for mutual benefit. Chabadza is given only to people whom you know, and it is given because when one person succeeds, both people succeed. The important part of Chabadza is that while working together, all benefit from the relationship. We were pleased to host one of the Zimbabwe delegates visiting the Kansas West Conference, Duncan Chawadza, for a few days, and celebrated and shared with him our community and church. Rudo Dozva, from Mutare, Zimbabwe, and a student at Kansas Wesleyan, also joined us Sunday evening for the UMYF BBQ and Outside the Box Worship Service. Duncan and Rudo joined our Praise Team, and treated us to a song in Shona, Makatenika Jesu, which translated means: You Are Faithful, O Lord.

A special offering will be taken during worship on June 3rd. Your generous gifts support: *Peace with Justice ministries in the conference *Peace with Justice work in the United States and around the world.

Rudo Dozva, Duncan Chawadza, D.S. Lew Van Der Wege, Janet Heyka, Carolyn Maxwell Just cant say enough! The We Care Team has been so thoughtful to us at this sad time, ALL that the team has done has been appreciated. My Love to all, bless you. Margaret Duffey Our District Superintendent, Lew Van Der Wege, and his wife Sherrie, also joined us for the evening. We were presented with our Chabadza Covenant partnership church in the Macheke Circuit. The circuit is located along the highway from Zimbabwes capital, Harare, to Mutare. They have 220 members. Most of its members are small scale farmers, some are civil servants or vendors. Their main source of transportation is by truck or bicycle. They are currently working on the reconstruction of their Sanctuary, and want to build a circuit parsonage in the future. We are sending our greeting and church info to Zimbabwe and look forward to hearing back from them!

Team: Allen Johnson, Marvin Houdek, Kevin Johnson, Jeanette Sheets, Terry Skinner, Lynn & Kim VanNortwick (Overall Chairs) This will be the last year for the current stand. If you have an old photo of the stand that you would like to share, we are planning to put up a little history display to show the story of our stand.

The Trustees continue to make preparations for repairs to the Parsonage. We have asked the UMW to help clean after the repairs are completed and before Pastor Emily moves in; Janis will have more on the time and date as it approaches. The Trustees have purchased and planted a new tree in the Parsonage lawn and will be replacing the missing sidewalk soon. The Kiosk is demoed and it's replacement on hold; $5,500 in funds are still needed to begin reconstruction of the Kiosk. To make any donation or memorial directly towards the Kiosk, please contact: Janet Heyka - Trustee Treasurer or Jay Kallman - Trustee Chair
