You can order a luminary to honor those who have struggled with cancer and help raise funds. Cost is $10. See Kay Sowinski or pick up a form.
Chipotle is hosting a fundraiser for us on Monday (May 2nd) from 4-8pm. All you need to do is tell them you are there for Relay for Life, and they will donate 50% of your order to our fundraising goal.
Women’s Bible Study: The ladies class will be meeting at the building on Tuesday at 6 pm.
Graduates: We will be honoring our graduates on May 29th. We will need the name, school, (and if applicable, degree) for all graduates (high school, university, technical school, etc). Please give that information to Joyce.
Summer Series: We are preparing for our Wednesday Night Summer series in the adult class. The theme is “Encountering Jesus,” exploring various stories of people meeting Jesus in the Gospels. We need some of our men to volunteer to teach a class. If you would like to teach, see Jamie Judge.
BIBLE CLASSES: Our bible classes are a great way to learn more about the Scriptures and to grow closer together as a church. If you are not currently involved, you are invited to join us! We have classes for all ages on Sundays at 9am and Wednesdays at 7pm.
One of the best ways to grow in your faith is to get involved. Here are just a few ways you can get plugged in! Pray for those who are sick and hurting & writing cards for them. Take food or provide other assistance to the sick and those who are grieving. Go out of your way to welcome guests in our worship gatherings. Volunteer to teach or assist in our Children’s Ministry. No experience needed, just a willingness to serve. Visit, call and write our shut-ins. Come up with creative ways we can fulfill our mission to love God and to love people. Be active in telling the good news and loving people in practical & intentional ways.
