ADULT BIBLE DISCUSSION GROUP The adult Bible discussion group, “READING THE BIBLE FOR ALL ITS WORTH: THE GOSPEL OF JOHN” continues Sunday mornings at 8:45-9:45 am in the Church Lounge/Library. Come and join the adventure of reading and applying the Bible to our adult lives! Pastor Gaug leads.
Children and Youth Reading Prizes: We are offering a faith-based book reading opportunity for teens and children during June and July. Children are encouraged to choose and read faith-encouraging books from our Book Borrowing Table or Children’s Library or to choose faith-based books from home or library. After reading a book, children and teens are asked to fill out a short report (forms in Fellowship Hall). Prizes are given to children who read books.
A NEW SUMMER SERMON SERIES, “STRONG HOPE,” WILL BEGIN ON PENTECOST SUNDAY, JUNE 8. The series is based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. That morning we will be joined by an accordion ensemble in our summer worship setting in Fellowship Hall. On Pentecost we invite everyone to wear something red, symbolic of the presence of the Holy Spirit on the first day of the Church’s existence.
