Wednesday Family Worship, Youth Mural, No Registration Fee for VBS (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/31)

All are invited to join us for Wednesday Family Worship starting Wednesday, June 3rd. We will be studying Psalm 107, "Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So". We'll start at 6pm with a meal. Around 6:45pm, we'll have praise and worship and then start our study at 7pm and end at 8pm. Bring the family and let's worship together.

The Youth Ministry is calling for youth, teachers, and interested volunteers to help paint the youth mural. The following days are available to help: Monday 6/1, Tuesday 6/2, Thursday 6/4, and Friday 6/5. Three people per night are needed in order to complete. There's a sign up sheet posted on Youth Room door or contact Minister Rasheeda Oliver.

Given that we're asking our members to give at least an additional 10% and the other items relating to the 150th anniversary celebration, the elders, after some discussion, decided to waive the registration fee for this year's VBS but you can give a donation if you would like to help with any costs (which we've kept to a minimum). VBS is scheduled for June 15th to 19th.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community. Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
