MOTHER’S DAY NESTING EGGS
MPP has long recognized a need for tuition-based assistance by providing The Purcell Scholarship in memory of Jim Purcell’s wife, Joyce. The scholarship covers 50% of a child’s tuition expense for the entire school year. This past year has presented many financial challenges due to lost jobs during the pandemic. Because of your generosity we were able to offer this scholarship to one of our preschool families. On Sunday May 8th and May 15th please consider supporting our scholarship fund by taking one of the plastic Nesting Eggs and placing money or a check made out to First Presbyterian Church with MPP Scholarship on the memo line inside the egg. The Nesting Eggs may be placed in the Offering tray or left in the church office. Thank you and Happy Mother’s Day!
LENTEN OFFERING UPDATE
Your generosity during our Lenten Offering collection, all of which goes directly to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance to benefit Ukraine, was overwhelming! We collected a total of $3,726. Thank you for your heartfelt giving! “… the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
