Please keep Minister of Music Spence Martin and family in your prayers as his father passed after a long illness. Thanks to all who participated in this year's VBS , Game On! I want to give a big THANK YOU to all who organized, taught classes, and cooked food. Starting next Sunday, we'll start a new summer sermon series called The Prayer Series. This will be a fun series as the ministers and I will be preaching on various topics like “what is prayer?”, “intercessory prayer”, “if God is in control then why pray?”, “why is prayer so hard to do?”. Please check out the announcements for some very cool Bible Study series starting for the summer and other important activities.

The funeral service will be held in Virginia on Tuesday.  Sister Brenda Hancock's mother (Minister Brandi Hancock's grandmother), Gladys Underwood, has passed away. Minister Kevin Coppage's uncle, who had cancer, has passed away.  Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

Everyone is invited to join us for our Church-Wide Prayer Gathering on Tuesday, June 5th from 7 to 8 pm. You can also submit your prayer requests online . Our current Bible Study Series is "Know Why You Believe". In an increasingly secular and pluralistic society it's so important to be firm in what you believe and know how to defend the faith. Since Christianity ultimately depends on the resurrection of Jesus, it would be good for you to know the proofs for the resurrection. "Did Jesus rise from the dead" is the topic for this Wednesday at 7pm. Next Sunday is our Annual Children's/Youth Day where our kids will be leading us in worship, we'll have a special Youth Day message, and we'll recognize our High School graduates. Come out to worship our Lord and support our children. Sis.
