THREE FELLOWSHIP
GROUPS
On April 22 members of the Adult Fellowship, the Seibert
Schneider Class, and the Women of Hickory met with our pastor and Elder Margie Naegeli to determine the future of each group.
All three groups, lacking the necessary leadership, chose to disband. The Adult Fellowship and the Seibert Schneider
Class have already determined how to distribute what funds they have, the Women of Hickory will vote on a suggested distribution
sometime after May 10th. They have approximately $4,500. All three plans for the distribution of funds will
be carried out only after session meets on June 7.
THE SOLID ROCK SUMMER TRIP The Solid Rock will travel to Washington, DC on July 5, returning on July
10. Through the efforts of John Naeher, the kids will be staying at First Presbyterian Church of Falls Church, VA, John's
congregation. Life to God is the theme for the week. Each day the kids will take the Metro into Washington and
visit the memorials on the Mall, Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian, and possibly even the Pentagon. A portion
of the trip will be devoted to working around the host church as well. members of the group are now signing up.
Please pray for the kids and support their fund-raisers Without your help, their trip will not happen.

NEW AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM On Mondays, from 3:30-5:00, a new program for kids in grades 1 to 5 has begun.
Called Growing Time, the program has several purposes. First, there will be study help offered.
If a child is having trouble in a subject or just wants to improve in that subject, help will be offered by members of The
Solid Rock. Second, for kids interested in arts and crafts this will be a time to teach them painting, sculpting, and
even do some simple wood projects. Third, some nature studies will be offered, like identifying animal tracks or bird
calls. There is no cost for this program, and it's open to all kids in the church and communityl We will emphasize
the power and creativity of God in all things, including school work. To join, kids just need to come and sign up.
