The Ellis Family Walking for

Multiple Sclerosis

 

Dear Friends,

 

Bill and I will participate again in the walk for multiple sclerosis on Sunday, May 2 in Milwaukee. Wisconsin, unfortunately, has the highest number of MS patients in the nation. We are  fortunate to have the most aggressive research and treatment programs in the Midwest with physicians in Madison and Milwaukee. These doctors have already developed new treatment options that are proving to be affective. The process of research is ongoing and continuous.

 

We are collecting donations for family and friends with this disease. Monies will stay in Wisconsin to help fund the current programs in research. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

 

If you would like to help us, please make your check out to National MS Society (Wisconsin Chapter) and send to:

Bill and Jan Ellis

P.O. Box 411

Brownsville, WI 53006

Or call: 920-948-5217

 

You may also leave your donation at the Church office. God Bless and thank you for your support.

“Sponsor a Mile to Georgia”

 

To benefit the Senior High Mission Trip

Seventeen Senior High youth will be traveling to Sautee Nacoochee Valley, Georgia June 19-26 to work in a Hispanic Settlement. During that time, they will be doing home repair, painting, landscaping, and working with the children in an outreach program. They are praying for your generous support.

 

In the stairwell coming into the church, there is a display showing our journey and highlights along the way. We will be traveling 2000 miles round trip. We would appreciate sponsors who would support us by donating $1.00 per mile to help with the cost of gas and supplies. Sponsors cards/envelopes will be available by the display.

 

The youth are excited to be able to participate in another trip this year and are grateful for the generosity and support of the church family that enables them to grow in their discipleship. Thank you!
