OUR CHURCH FAMILY
SUNDAY: All children ages 2 years old through 5th grade are invited to meet downstairs in the education wing to find your classrooms, meet your teachers, and have some cookies! 3-year olds through 5th graders, please meet in the singing room. Parents of 2-year olds may take them directly to their classroom, room #109/111. Jr High and Sr High students meet your teachers in your respective classrooms. Also SUNDAY: 10:55-11:45 AM – All MYFers and their parents! After visiting your classroom, please meet in the fellowship hall for an important football parking meeting. Did you know football parking brings in over $60,000 per season? That means when you help out one Saturday, you earn over $400 for the ministries of the church. Thank you! Donate your time to this all-church activity by signing up on the easel in the Sip & Chat area. Contact Allison & Isaiah Goertz with questions. Do you like helping people find a seat for the worship service? Is writing, sharing art or music gifts, or reading scripture something you enjoy? Want to help care for toddlers or run the sound/AV equipment during worship services? There are many roles that contribute to worship and YOU CAN HELP the Worship Commission by completing a Worship Gifts Survey to get involved with our worship services this year. Simply complete the online survey HERE: tinyurl.com/yyl245ae by SEPTEMBER 15. Paper copies and a drop off box are on the table outside the sanctuary. We have revived our First Mennonite Facebook page --(When logged into Facebook, find us at First Mennonite Church, Iowa City).

Photo Opt-Out forms are on the back side of the policy. If you do not want your picture posted, please fill out the form and hand it in to the office by September 1. Mennonite Central Committee is now supporting Iglesia Zoar ministry in Mexico. First Mennonite will no longer receive funds here.
