On Saturday, May 4th, the ladies of Ascension Lutheran Church in East Lansing will host a Spring Fling highlighting the work of Youth Haven Ranch. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with lunch at 12:00 p.m. In between, Larry and Cheri Carlson will discuss the ranch and it's ministry. All activities are free, and no pre-registration is necessary.
As part of the event, Ascension is collecting grooming items for the children to use while at the ranch: bar soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, washcloths, combs. Travel size items only, please. Even if you can't attend the event, you are welcome to donate items using the box provided in the narthex.

A servant opportunity is available for someone who likes things neat and tidy.
Someone is needed to get the bedrooms and bathrooms straighten up before and after Messiah’s Forts and Sorts Servant Event (June 16th to June 22nd). The servant will do general housekeeping duties making sure the bathrooms are clean, dusting and vacuuming the bedrooms the student servant who are coming to the servant event will be sleeping in. These activities need to accomplished some time during the week of June 10th and June 24. The exact day and time during those weeks is up to you. If multiple people would like to work as a team that would be great as well. The reason this assistance is needed is because Jen, the previous housekeeper, passed away and no replacement has been hired yet. Please prayerfully consider using your talent of service to fill this need. Contact Ned Gottleber at 517-256-5418 if you have questions, need more information or are willing to fill this need.
Enjoy the blessings our good Lord is providing you every day.

Spring Cleaning of the 2 cabins Messiah has adopted at Youth Haven Ranch.
As in the past, these cabins need to be cleaned and windows washed so they are ready for the summer campers. I am putting together a team of people to do the cleaning which should only take a few hours providing I get enough help. Once the servants have been identified, I will determine what day and time works best to accomplish this task. Please contact Ned Gottleber at 517-256-5418
if you are willing to be on the team.
Thank you for your willingness to be of service to the children at Youth Haven Ranch.
