We are preparing for our summer mission teams to come in and help us at Lakota Pointe, Meadow Ridge and Heritagespring. In April we had people from two of the teams come in and visit the sites to get an idea of where their teams will be serving. We are very excited about how the Lord will use these teams, along with our core group, to impact the residents at the Multihousing locations where we are currently meeting. The teams are coming in for different amounts of time. We have one team that will only be here for a day and others that are helping for a week.
We are looking forward to using the team that will be with us for one day to have a FREE yard sale at Meadow Ridge Apartments. We are praying that this will open the door to us making many new contacts and hopefully allow us to begin small group there again soon.
We we were blessed to get to visit a former youth, Luke Grantz while we were in Florida for a wedding of another former youth. It's easy to get homesick when one is so far from home so we were thrilled to have the opportunity to visit and encourage him during his last month of school.

Heritagesprings of West Chester
If you are free the first or second Sunday of the month you should consider joining us at Heritagespring, you will be blessed! We are thrilled to have another volunteer to play the piano for our chapel services. Thank you Dot!
These dear senior adults are always so happy to see our group come because they know how much we care about them. They don't always get the opportunity to go to chapel because they only have one or two employees that can wheel them down for the service. Because we have volunteers that will help us, more residents get to come.
While we were in Florida we had several people step up and use their gifts for a song service. The residents always enjoy the song services. It's amazing how they can recall the words to the old hymns even when most days some of them may have difficulty forming a complete sentence. It is such a special sight to see!

Meadow Ridge and North Pointe
As was mentioned at the beginning of this newsletter, we are having a FREE yard sale at Meadow Ridge on June 4. We are accepting new and gently used clothes and household items for this event. If you can donate anything we will be happy to pick the stuff up! We would really like to have LOTS of stuff for the residents to choose from. We are anticipating children's clothes and toys being popular items. If you can help by donating things you no longer use or need we would greatly appreciate it!!
