NEWS & NOTES
Memorial Day Celebrations
	On Sunday, May 27th , we will join with Christ Church next door in our annual Memorial Day Celebration in the Cemetery. The Service will include the local honor guard participating. Gather for the service in the cemetery around 9:30 AM. Services will also be held in the cemetery at Friedens UCC at 6:30 PM in the evening
Local Food Pantry
	Food donations for Local Food Pantry The Oley food pantry is in need of many items to help serve those in our community who need food. The churches of the ministerium have decided to make the pantry a priority this year. Here at Salem, we are going to list an item each month that you can donate to the needs of the pantry. For the month of May the item is “ Pasta”. Please consider picking up a box or two when you do your shopping and bring it to church.
Summer Hyms Request
	With the approach of summer, Kathy and I are asking for your requests for hymns that we will sing during worship for the next four months (June through September). At present the hymns are planned through the beginning of June. We know that we do not always sing your favorite hymns so here is your opportunity to have your favorite hymn lifted up in worship. Please jot down on a piece of paper the names of your favorite hymns. If you know the hymnal and page number, please put that down as well. Make sure either Kathy or Pastor Bob get them by Sunday, June 17.
