| Sunday's Service - May 12, 2019 | We welcome our own Pat Shannon to lead us in Worship this week. The featured Scripture verses are: Proverbs 31
for Pat's message: A Mother’s Advice. | Join us this Sunday for Worship! | Bible Studies Sunday Morning Class: Romans, 9:30a.m.
Wednesday Morning Ladies Study: Hosea, 9:30am at Jen Shannon's You are welcome to join in studies at any time! | Garden & Nursery News Frank Snyder will be in the Garden this week, with a lesson about sharing our faith. Activity pages will be on the table by the Sanctuary doors. Children 3 & younger are invited to the Nursery for Bible story time. | Youth Group Last Sunday we talked about sacrifice and read the story of the widow's offering. After our discussion, the kids had a Bible verse challenge that required them to "illustrate" a Bible verse by drawing or using any materials they could think of to build a representation of their verse. It was a tricky task but our youth more than met the challenge!
We will not meet this Sunday and we hope everyone has a good time celebrating Moms! Our final school year meeting will be on May 19th at 6pm. Hope to see all the youth ~ grades 5-12 ~ there!! | Special Music Service ~ May 19, 11am Everyone enjoyed our musical Worship service in March so much that we decided to have another! On May 19th, we will welcome back Denise Gane and Lynn Deeter ~ also known as Tried & True. This father and daughter duo was here with us in August 2014 and we are delighted to have them return! Brad Weber will be preaching that Sunday, Tried & True will perform their gospel songs, and we hope you will all be here! It's also a great opportunity to invite your friends and family to church. We will have the "love offering" container available in the Great Room if you wish to express your thanks to the musicians. | May & June Speakers May 19 - Brad Weber with Tried & True

On Tuesday, Sue Weaver and half of our crew made some out of this world chicken teriyaki. Tuesdays just might be our favorite day! The rest of the week found us involved in raking...lots and lots of raking...as well as cleaning, weeding, weed whacking, planting, and enjoying being outside. Rex Long also came out this week to get our fields plowed and ready for planting out back. Thanks Rex! Now we are looking forward to tomorrow and our visit to Camp Frederick. | | OUTREACH and MISSION OPPORTUNITIES | Cards for Heroes Thanks to all who took a minute to write a card for a hero!

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in;
I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me.
I was in prison and you came to me. .....When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were doing it to me. Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 ~ What can YOU do? | | LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWS/EVENTS | If you know of any interesting news or events,
