7. The first week of In Their Shoes collectively got us 598 miles, almost all the way to Chicago!  Keep praying for our highlighted missionaries, and don’t forget to turn in your paper logs and pick up your new ones (either at the Missions table on Sundays or in the office during the week). We ask that you turn in your paper logs by Friday, May 29th, so that our final tallies (and awards) at the Missions Brunch on May 30th include your efforts.  And thank you!

8. The BMCE Spring B&P Breakfast takes place on Thursday, May 21st at 6:30. Kathy Piepmeyer, the afternoon voice on radio station WBYN 107.5 Alive is the special speaker.

Tickets are $25 p/person and may be obtained from the church office or from Jack Parry or John Niederhaus.

Don’t forget to sign up for the In Their Shoes with Michael Sander Missions Brunch on Saturday, May 30th.  Not only will there be a great spread of food and activities for kids, we’ll get to hear from Michael Sander about his work in Eswatini and with Perspectives.  AND we’ll get to celebrate and award the people who logged the most miles during the In Their Shoes challenge.  Don’t miss it!
