Mission Events Youth from Eden and Fond du Lac will present their mission efforts during the Women's Fellowship Meeting on June 12th at 7:00 PM.  Last year they took a mission trip to Back Bay Mission in Biloxi, Mississippi.    The first Sunday of each month has always been designated for food ingathering for the Slinger Food Pantry.  Starting in July, there will be a slight change.  A specific item will be designated for each month and the ingathering will continue all month.  The items specified are seldom received as donations at the food pantry.  In addition, other non-perishable food items and cash can still be donated to help feed those in the Slinger area who do not have enough to eat.     July - Condiments (ketchup, mustard, pickles, etc.)      August - Bar Soap      September - Dish Soap      October - Toilet Tissue This year's Lenten Denial offering was distributed with Habitat for Humanity of Washington County, Interfaith Caregivers, Albrecht Free Clinic, and the Slinger Food Pantry.  On April 6th Faith UCC held a local Mission Sunday.  Members of 2 organizations, Habitat for Humanity of Washington County and Interfaith Caregivers, spoke to our Sunday School students during the Sunday School time and they talked about their organizations during the worship service. After the service there was time to ask more questions of these individuals and an opportunity to view their displays. Members of the congregation were asked to also bring coins on this day. The coins collected during the service in a special offering were split between the two organizations to assist them in their local mission work. During the month of March, donations were collected to purchase coffee for The Gathering in Milwaukee. The Youth of our church, along with several adults, worked at The Gathering on April 12th to serve a meal.   They took our coffee donation to The Gathering at that time. Souper Bowl of Caring was a success as Sunday School children exceded their goal to collect 500 non-perishable food items for the Slinger Food Pantry.    One Great Hour of Sharing helps families and villages around the world to build lives and communities that are healthy, safe and sustainable. Sharing our resources can really change lives!  The OGHS gifts were dedicated during worship on March 2nd.
