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. Click here for this month’s meditation.

Memorial Sunday

On Sunday, May 11, we will celebrate the birth of the church on Pentecost.  Following our services we will have a reception with a birthday cake to commemorate the occasion.  Plan now to be with us on this special Sunday and WEAR RED to help remember the beginning of the church with the gift of the Holy Spirit.

 

 

Summer Sermon Series

            Once again, by popular demand, Pastor Mike is inviting YOU to come up with topics and suggestions for his preaching this summer. Perhaps there is a favorite old Bible story, or topic of 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 Sunday, June 1, we will move to our Summer Schedule for Sunday mornings. There will be NO Sunday School, and worship will begin at 10:00 AM every Sunday.  This schedule runs through August 31.  On September 7 we will have our Fall Kick-Off Celebration, with a return to our normal schedule: Sunday School at 9:30 and Worship at 10:45.
