The vision
I’m excited to announce that our Adult small group Sunday School classes will resume meeting
together on June 13!
We’re calling this important occasion SUNDAY SCHOOL RECONNECT.
For more than a year we have had Bible study online or in large groups while seeking to maintain contact with our
class members, but the time has come for our Sunday School classes to RECONNECT. Personal fellowship and
interaction are so very important for a healthy spiritual life. God doesn’t want us to live in isolation.
There will be some changes, but most of our classes will resume unchanged and in their former locations. One
important change is that as of June 13 we will no longer offer a mask-required adult Sunday School class. Masks
are welcome in any of our classes, but are not required.
Please do three things in the weeks ahead as we prepare for June 13:
1. PRAY that God will work mightily and draw many people – lost and saved – back into our classes.
2. Plan to be PRESENT on June 13.
3. URGE fellow class members and guests to come with you.
Adult Teachers and Class Coordinators already have their new class lists and will be making contact with members
soon. Listen for more information in the days ahead.
New Sunday Morning Schedule
June 13 is also the date we will begin the following new and simpler Sunday morning schedule:
Sunday School – 9:00 AM
Sunday Morning Worship – 10:30 AM
As of June 13 we will no longer offer a mask-required worship service. Masks are welcome in any of our worship
The text of the song was adapted from Philippians 2:6-11
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the
cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father. Philippians 2:6-11

Brother John
At The Name of Jesus by Cindy Berry
Jesus, though He was God, did not cling to His rights as God
But laid aside His mighty power, His mighty power and glory
Taking the form of a servant and becoming like man.
He humbled Himself, He humbled Himself
And became obedient unto death, even death on the cross.
