Sunday May 10th Fifth Sunday of Easter

Sunday Events:

We will be blessing our mothers this Sunday and giving thanks for the gift of life for all. The title of my sermon is "Birthing Stories" and I will be preaching about the gift of life and how our church community has a birth story as well. I hope that you will enjoy it.

The parking lot project is slowly being completed. We will be able to drive on the some of the new section this Sunday. Parking should be no problem.

We will also be celebrating the baptism of Chloe Petty at the 9:45 service. She is the daughter of Sean and Jenny Petty and sister to Sammy. She comes from a family that is strongly rooted in our community and I know that her baptism will bring joy to all.

Saturday Workday.

We need workers if we are going to accomplish the tasks before us. Please consider coming to help. Many hands make light work. 

We are going to officially start at 8:00, but I will be on site before that because I am excited about how good the church is going to look after we are done. Meet me at 7:00 if you have something later in the morning to do.  I have lot of preparation to do in the offices for the painting that day. I could use some help. This is all about giving your time. 

As always I give the right to pass to people (no questions asked)  and I do in this case as well. Just because I am passionate about something doesn't mean others are. There are also very legitimate reasons for not showing up. People have guests in their house, health issues, or commitments to children, work, family and friends. Also, people give their time in many ways outside of a workday. We will make do if only a few show up. We will be very thankful for these few. However the work will not go away by itself and we will complete these tasks no matter how long it takes. Simply put, it's do them now or do them later.  Just think also of the pride we are going to have in doing these things together!

Pony Express

We had a number of bags turned in. We are hoping to have them all turned in by this Sunday. We are now aware that is not going to happen. If you have not received your bag, please call the church office. We are asking the station managers to make sure that the bags are not lost or stuck.  This is going to be wonderful and we are all looking forward to the final tally.

See you Sunday!
