Midweek Connection for July 1, 2015

MCN’ers have been having fun in the sun. On June 4, we were at Underwood Park, on July 2, we went to Rollingbrook Park and had fun with bubbles.  June 17 at Tipton Trails got rained out, but we have two more coming up, July 15 at Miller Park, and July 30 at Ewing Park I.  Here is the website to sign up.  All the Fun in the Sun events start at 10:00 am and go until noon.  Many families with young children think this is great; all ages are welcome.  

The Hickman Family invited members of their cluster, and also some other neighbors to help a neighbor’s house and yard get ready for summer.  This is a project sponsored by “Both Hands” and you can read more about it at http://www.bothhands.org/project/hickman-5070.

Charlotte Hedberg, Lydia Hedberg, Alena Culbertson, Wesley Hershberger, Emily Hershberger, and Claire Dyck brought music to residents of Heritage Health.  Jerry Musselman and Roy Jiles, MCN members, were among those enjoying the music.  Melika Hershberger, Chris Culbertson, Mary Dyck and Ruth Marquis helped with transportation and enjoyment of the music.

On Saturday, June 6, 21 adults and children spread mulch around the landscaped areas of the Mennonite Church of Normal. We had a beautiful day, lots of help, great refreshments and good “coverage.”  All the plants, and all who look on our renewed landscaping say a big thanks.    

The MCN Wellness Committee revised a similar 2001 Funeral Preparations Manual and distributed it on May 31.  Features include Resources Offered by the Mennonite Church of Normal, Resources of the Christian Faith, and Advance Directives Information.  The Manual includes downloadable Living Will Declaration, and Declaration for Mental Health Treatment. Additionally, Forms to Assist in Preparation for a funeral can be downloaded and printed.
