Dear friends,

I want to thank the whole team who did such a good job telling the gospel last week. Thanks to Terry B for leading worship, Tom W for his encouraging message, Kaitlyn N for music, Sharon W also for music, Mike G for the AV, and Charlie K for streaming.

I'm so pleased and glad to see this happening. We are “bringing people the gospel of Jesus.” We are doing the mission God has given us. This is great. Yes, it makes me a little sad to get replaced. But I'm more glad to see God working through you.

I'd also like to give a big thanks to Pete and Donna W. They’re painting the entry area and hallway at church. They’re doing great.

Catechism

After our children receive education from preschool to 5th grade, middle school students (grades 6-8) receive the next level of instruction in catechism class. Catechism class systematically instructs students in the basic teachings of the Christian faith. Catechism doesn’t teach Bible stories; it teaches doctrine so we can gain the mind of Christ.

If you’re a 6-8th grade student now or in the fall of 2022, I hope you’ll join me for this class. I love spending time with you and helping you learn to follow Jesus.

If you are a parent of a 5th grader, please contact me so that I can get your student registered for class.

Memorial Day festivities

Grab some coffee, have a hearty breakfast, and get the creative train started! We are looking for great minds to help us come up with a fun and creative way to give back to our veterans. Any and all ideas are encouraged and welcomed. Email or talk to the pastor if you have any ideas or want to be involved.
