This Week: 5-8-23 thru 5-14-23

​** 1st Wednesday Kids Club held their final session of the school year last week. We had 16, K-5 grade kids who went through the program consistently this year. We are so grateful for this time to express our hope in Jesus upon these young people. Hopefully we will be able to reach more next year too!

** Light Hours has been a great resource for our college age young people. They will be meeting again on Sunday May 14th 6:30 - 8:00.

** Faith Builders new Bible study group will be taking a break due to schedules and ball games. Will be looking for a time coming up soon to get back started.

** Our Cornerstone Women's group is planning to meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month. The next meeting will take place on May 4th at 6:00. ( I am still looking for someone to lead a "Cornerstone Men's" group )

**Missions Moment - time to get involved!
It looks like another busy summer is shaping up.  We have a few opportunities to serve our communities which will involve the whole Church's support.  First is the New Path Pregnancy Resource Center's Baby Bottle Campaign which kicks off now and will run through Father's Day.  The bottles are available in the gathering area to take home and fill with change to be returned by June 18th.  

     Next up is assisting G.R.A.C.E. with the free lunches in the park on Wednesdays during the summer.  Our Church will be providing lunches on June 14th and July 5th.  We will prepare the meals at Church and serve them over at the park.  Sarah will buy the items we need to make Walking Tacos for June 14th along with fruit cups, rice krispie treats and juice boxes.  We will decide later on the menu for July 5th which might include grilled hot dogs.  More details to come.

     We will plan to have the free community produce tent again this summer in partnership with New Beginnings Church.  The tent will be set up around the end of June or first of July at New Beginnings and stay there until sometime in September.  Please share this info with local gardeners who may want to donate some of their harvest to the tent.  

     To wrap up the summer we will set the Free Sale for Saturday, August 5th.  So we will start the set-up the previous Sunday after Church and take donations to sort and display July 31st through August 3rd from 6 to 8 p.m.  More info later on this.  - Sue Walls, Missions Chair
