MISSION EMPHASIS VELVEETA CONTEST     Sunday, May 20, 2012
 
The Mission Committee is sponsoring a Velveeta Cook-Off in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday, May 20that noon. Prizes will be awarded for best presentation, best taste and most healthy. It will be a great time to learn about the Church’s upcoming Mission Projects and to help determine who is Munholland’s Velveeta Champion. 
 
For those who want to cook, please complete an Entry form found on the table near the Welcome center and place it in the box marked Velveeta Cook-Off Entry Forms in the Welcome Center. Please prepare your Velveeta dish in advance and be ready to serve it at noon. Church members will cast their ballots to determine the winner of each category. If you are really feeling creative, conjure up a recipe that is truly unique. All you need to provide is the Velveeta dish, the Mission Committee will provide everything else.
 
For those who want to be Tasters and vote for their favorite, just come to Fellowship Hall. The entrance fee is $5 per person with a $20 family cap. That will entitle you to 3 ballots. Additional ballots will be available for purchase.
 
All of you with a creative Velveeta recipe, gather your crew and come cook for a worthy cause. The funds raised will be used to help provide school uniforms and other missions
Munholland supports. If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Salmeron at 504-388-8822.

ADULT BIBLE STUDY STUDENT RECOGNITION DAY    Sunday, May 27, 2012
 
Adult Bible Study Student Recognition Day will be held on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at Munholland. We will recognize all who have participated or are participating in a Bible study.  If you have been in a Bible study in the past year (Summer 2011 – Spring 2012), then this celebration is to honor you in recognition of your study of God’s word. Bible study participants will be recognized in each worship service on Sunday, May 27th.
 
If you have participated in a DISCIPLE Bible Study course, please wear your Disciple pin(s) from previous years and share the Good News of Bible study with someone who has not yet been part of a Munholland Bible Study. Also remember that May 27th is Pentecost Sunday, which occurs 7 weeks after Easter and marks the end of the Easter season. Pentecost celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. To help us recall those “tongues of fire”, please wear something red to church on that day.
 
Congratulations to all of you! We would like to especially thank our Bible Study Coordinator, Paul Gregory, as well as our other leaders. Your leadership has been a blessing.  Our leaders this year include Rev. George Duerson, Rev. Janet Davis, Rev. Nancy Feild, Duke Eversmeyer, Pam Eversmeyer, Jessika Horner, Ernest Hui, Betsy White, Penny Whitehead, Alice Reese, Paul Gregory, Reggie Sanders and Caroline Sanders.
