THIS SUNDAY IS YOUTH SUNDAY!

Come and be encouraged as our youth lead worship- ushering , making music, reading liturgy, preaching and experiencing the living God in this place.

We take heart this Sunday in the promise of God found in Jeremiah 29:11...

"I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future." To this end, the Holy Spirit has come to dwell in us, never leaving our side no matter what season of life we're in and no matter what difficult circumstance we may be facing. What a thing to celebrate on Youth Sunday and Pentecost as well!

Our God makes everything beautiful in its time, and is constantly yearning that we know him better working for the purpose of our knowing Him better. Let us look to Jesus and be refreshed alongside our youth this weekend.

Joyfully,

Caitlin

Note:

*There will be a reception following the service
*Rehearsal will begin at 9:30am in the sanctuary. Everyone participating in the service must be there at this time.

KITCHEN VOLUNTEERS THIS SUNDAY, MAY 19th

Tuesday, May 21st, we are having our kitchen deep cleaned/sanitized by a professional cleaning staff. We desperately need help clearing out the kitchen and putting everything in the Fellowship Hall. (a lot of dishes, flatware and utensils have already been moved) This should only take twenty minutes if we work together. I really appreciate your help!
