I got a message from Cary's Chief of Police, Tony Godwin, about an officer-involved shooting which resulted in the suspected burglar dying. At the time, we didn't have much information but we prayed for the officers involved and the family of the deceased person. Happy Memorial Day. Let's not forget that this holiday is about remembering those who have died in service to our country. So let's pray for those families who have lost loved ones. We continue our Discipleship Journey in Bible Study. Now we're looking at the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. On Wednesday, we'll be looking at the Person and Work of Christ. Also, Deacon Johnson is now taking orders for volume 3's study guide that starts in July. Join us for VBS on June 21 – June 25, beginning at 6:00pm. Come enjoy lively bible study, food, fun, community outreach (on Saturday), and a grand Sunday School lesson (on Sunday). You DO Not want to miss it. Registration has started.

Our Young Adult Ministry, Chosen, presented this message for Mother's Day... "We are a group of believers consisting of members ranging from ages 18-26. We just recently started to get involved at church and we are excited about the growth of the ministry. Today, we would like to recognize not only Mothers but all of the wonderful women of the church. Each of you are precious and fearfully and wonderfully made. We believe that as women, you have made an impact on someone's life whether you birthed them or not. So we honor you today.
