    Membership & Evangelism News The M&E Committee purchased a laptop on which to install design software provided by Lifetouch
    along with photo repository.  Volunteers are meeting for design sessions in April.  An announcement will be made in church when
    the directory is submitted for printing.  The church brochure is being updated.  M&E will host a community supper over the
    summer.  The next Membership & Evangelism meeting will take place on Thursday May 23 at 7:00 p.m. in Wesley Center. Come
    one, come all to help plan our fellowship opportunities!

Lindsay Wilson College Singers Thank you to those who supported the Lindsay Wilson College Singers concert event on April 3rd at St. Peter's Church.  Mary
Taylor members supported the potluck dinner and hosted many of the Columbia, Kentucky students overnight. Those who attended the concert can attest to what
an inspirational and uplifting evening it was.
We enjoyed choral and violin performances and a special fellowship opportunity with other Milford congregations.  Mayor Blake presented the group with a key to
the city of Milford and he in turn received official recognition from the state of Kentucky as a "Kentucky Colonel"!  

Adult Progressive Dinner Back by popular demand after a 10+ year hiatus, the adult progressive dinner will take place on Saturday May 4th at 6pm.  Thanks to all
who have agreed to serve as hosts for this exciting evening.  Please e-mail Cathy Cono if interested in hosting or attending

    GOT PIANO ?       WANT TO DONATE?
    The piano in the chapel is having a hard time “Making a joyful noise unto the Lord,” and needs to be replaced.  If you have an
    upright piano in good condition that you would like to donate, please call Gina Bonfietti (our   piano technician) at 203-882-8082 or
    email her at gina@ginaspiano.com, or call the church office.
