Events Let Your Light Grow and Shine! Pastor Mike has invited us to allow the Light of
the fruit of the Spirit to grow in our lives in 2008. Each month he will
highlight one of the themes of the Light of God’s Spirit. In February,
being the month of Valentine’s Day, he thought he would highlight Love.

interest you want to hear a sermon about. This is your chance! During the
summer (starting June 1, and going through August 31) Pastor Mike is inviting
YOU to pick the sermon topic or scripture. Place your
sermon ideas in the HOT pink “Summer Sermon Series” suggestions
box located on the greeters table at the entrance to the narthex. Maybe he
will get to yours before the summer is over. Summer Schedule begins in June Starting on
