The March worknight at HarvestCall will need to be changed, because of the meat canning schedule, to this coming Friday, March 21 from 7 – 9 PM. This worknight will be mainly for cleaning the warehouse for meat canning, for this we request 12 years to adult age. The worknight for Friday, March 28 will be canceled as they will be setting up for meat canning. Meat Canning will then start on Monday, March 31 and finish on Thursday, April 3. 

We would like to invite our Rittman church family and friends to the wedding singing for Sis. Carlie Schlatter and Bro. Toby Stoller this coming Saturday evening, March 22 at 7:30 PM at the Smithville church. All are welcome.

The Meat Canning Committee appreciates the wide range of ages helping with the meat canning and soup packing projects but also is responsible for providing a safe environment while properly handling food that will be distributed to those in need. Please help us in this effort by closely supervising your children during these projects so no one is in danger of being injured.
