Thank You!!
Thank you to all who helped make the youth parking
fundraiser a success.
Youth Stockholder Fundraiser
The youth stockholder fundraiser began May 1st, and runs thru
May 31st. This is a great opportunity to invest in our
youth. You can buy shares of stock for $10 per share. If you buy 15 shares or more, you get two hours of youth labor to be
scheduled in the fall.
VBS Volunteers Needed
Volunteers for VBS are still needed. You can sign up at the display or contact the church
office or Christen Vick.
We Remember!!
On the eve of Memorial Day, we say thank you and remember those who made the ultimate
sacrifice for our country.
Adult Bible Study
On Wednesday, May 29th, Pastor Steve will conclude the
morning Bible study on the book of Jonah. Morning Bible
study will resume in September.
Evening Bible study will resume in September.
HELP!!
Our pockets are empty. The Benevolence fund needs your help to continue to do God’s
work. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
