IMPACT

I want to personally thank the residents of Springfield and surrounding communities!! So many of you have been such a huge help to the youth group at the Methodist Church – I.M.P.A.C.T. (Inspired Ministry Preparing Authentic Christian Teens). You have laughed with us as we do our annual Toilet Paper Drive, to help food pantries. You have supported us as we do prayer walks through the community, where we stop and pray for others. You have helped us to raise funds to go on our Mission Trips, we have 28 people going on this year’s trip to Red Lake, MN. The most we have ever taken.

Without you, none of this would be possible, so Thank You from the bottom of my heart!! Thank you for caring enough to help!!

Grace & Peace,

Ron Smith

Youth Leader

HAPPENING NEARBY

LOUISVILLE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION

TAKE FIVE

Come and join us for the high school production of "Take Five" this Friday, May 1st, at 7PM in Louisville Public School’s Elementary Gym. Admission will be a goodwill donation. “Take Five” is a hilariously funny half an hour production. Imagine you are an actor on opening night trying to perform on a set that isn’t completed. Then one actor doesn’t show up, a fruitcake from the audience uses your stage phone to argue with his wife, the props either don’t work or are missing, the lighting and sound cues are off, and two incompetent stagehands do their worst. This award winning comedy is filled with surprises and zany characters.
