OUR CHURCH FAMILY
SUNDAY: Easter breakfast potluck (8 AM) & Easter Worship Celebration: Everyone is invited to bring favorite breakfast casseroles, breads and/or fruit to share at our annual Easter breakfast! Table service is provided. Serving from 8 to 8:45 AM (this allows time for the kitchen crew to clean up and attend 9:30 AM worship). Young children, caregivers, and friends are invited to come and play together THIS FRIDAY, April 26, 10 AM to 11:30 AM in the FMC fellowship hall. Snack and drink provided. See you there! On this Easter Sunday when we sing with joy and gladness that Christ is alive, Worship Commission is excited about the new song book, Voices Together, (anticipated release date of fall 2020). The hymnbook will include songs from the current 3 songbooks in our pews, new songs, as well as expanded worship resources. The anticipated cost is $25/book. This low cost is possible because our publisher, Menno Media is working hard to raise the funds for production costs. For a $50 donation you will help First Mennonite purchase one songbook, help with production costs, and have the opportunity to honor the memory of a loved one with a nameplate. Envelopes are in the pews if you want to give a contribution today. Worship Commission will have a fundraising drive on April 28 and May 5. CONFERENCE AND COMMUNITY NEWS Join Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity on their Interfaith Builds, where we’ll be building two sides of a duplex alongside members of faith communities throughout our area.

The Oakdale Community Choir is a unique mix of volunteers and men who are incarcerated. Together we are working to transform the correctional system through music.
