Tornado Relief
We are receiving an offering to provide relief for tornado victims in Enid. We are sending this offering directly to Enid First United Methodist Church since they know where the needs are. If you would like to donate to this offering, please mark your check or offering envelope, "Tornado Relief." If you want to donate online, please give through our website and choose the designated fund, "OK Tornado Relief."

THIS SUNDAY - Confirmation Sunday
April 26 is Confirmation Sunday. On this special day, six of our students will confirm the promises made at their baptism and step into full membership with our congregation! This is the culmination of a dedicated year of study and mentoring, so please join us as we celebrate them and the mentors who’ve poured into them.
They will be confirmed at the beginning of the 8:30am service, with introductions at the later two services. All are invited to a reception in their honor at 9:30am, upstairs FLC.

Blood Drive Congrats
Last Sunday, we had a successful blood drive. Thirty-one folks signed in, including 10 walk in donors. Our number of walk in donors this time was likely a record. Out of those who signed in, we had 26 donors, including 6 double red cell donors which is 32 equivalent units. This is the most units collected in a long time.
One of the OBI staff told Ken Meyer, our coordinator, that we are one of her top 3 favorite drives to work. Why? the donors are nice and the setup provided works well. Thanks to all who donated and all who helped. Our next drive is scheduled for July 19. Mark your calendars!

Momentum Youth’s Estate Sale Update
A month ago, we shared with you the work we did during our Spring Break Mission Dayz. In addition, we invited you to the estate sale we had after we were gifted Dot Turman's belongings by daughter and son-in-law, David and Catherine Wildermuth.
Over the two weekends we opened the doors to the public, more of you poured through the doors of the youth area than we could have imagined! What a blessing to see so many of you as well as meeting so many people from the community. Actually, this entire project ended up being just blessing after blessing! The blessing to Dot's family, the blessing of learning about a family who previously gave so much to this church (many of you stopped and shared stories of the Turman's), the blessing we received of your presence, the blessing to those who shopped (several folks found things that replaced items lost in last year’s fires), and the blessing of a new friendship with the Wildermuths!
And if those blessings weren't enough, this crazy thing we did earned the youth a little more than $8000. What started as an offer to help someone pack up some shelves, turned into an amazing experience and an unexpected fundraiser. We are so excited to share this with you and as always, thank you for your support! We couldn't do all that we do, without you!
