2024 Graduates: If you have a graduate in the family, please send a recent photo and a brief sentence about their upcoming plans for the future to Jama Bowman by May 31.We will be recognizing and praying for our graduates in church on June 9.
ASP Fundraiser, Sundays in June: Our Appalachia Service Project volunteers will be holding a sponsorship event in the narthex Sundays in June. Sponsorship items include: van rentals, tanks of gas, hardware store purchases, ice cream runs, first aid supplies, and more. Full or partial sponsorships are welcomed; cash or check accepted.
Church Picnic, Sunday, June 9: There will be a single service at 10:30 AM followed by our church picnic. Sign-up in the rear entryway or online, so we can plan on food and set-up. Please also sign up to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share.
Summer Worship Schedule: Starting June 16 through September 1, we will be worshiping together at ONE service beginning at 9:15 AM. During the summer when attendance is lighter, a single service makes better use of our worship volunteers and makes for a fuller assembly. It will be wonderful to worship as one congregation!
Summer Fun Nights: Join us for monthly Summer Fun Nights, starting Sunday, June 23 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Each month’s meeting will center on the theme “What We All Need.” These gatherings are for ALL PEOPLE–kids, youth, adults, seniors, families, singles, friends, YOU! Each event includes dinner, a Bible story, activities, service projects, and closing worship with a hymn-sing. Sign-up online or in the entryway for planning purposes. Additional evenings will be July 21 and August 18.
Worship volunteers needed: We have many opportunities for members to help lead in worship by reading scripture and helping serve at the altar. Sign up in the weekly email.
Fellowship Time Help Needed: Sign up help with this community building endeavor of the church that we all enjoy and requires all of us to help. See the weekly email to sign up.
