NOTE: We are trying something new! We are looking for people to help out with the Alpha meal each week. Would you be willing to make a meal (soup is suggested) for one of the Alpha meetings? We ask that there be enough for 6 people. You can prepare and serve it – or you can freeze it and deliver it Carolyn ahead of time. (There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer.)
NOTE: New prayer cards (called “Care Cards”) have been placed in the pockets of the chairs for your use. Please feel free to fill them out and place them in the offering plate or in the “mail box” at the back.
Church need: Is anyone interested in volunteering to care for the church lawn? We are looking for someone to cut the grass 2-4 times per month through the summer months - depending on the weather.
Contact Steve or Pastor Greg for details
"The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sunhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it."
