5. “Made in God’s Image” – Next Sunday, June 23, we will have a single worship service at 10:30 a.m. We will celebrate the Sunday School with a presentation called “Made in God’s Image”. The congregation is cordially invited to join the children for an Ice Cream Social in Campbell Hall following the worship service.
Single services held at 10:30 a.m. will continue throughout the summer months. On September 15 we will return to two services (Contemporary at 9:00 a.m. and Traditional at 10:30 a.m.).
6. Summer Refreshment Volunteers Needed – Starting on Sunday, June 30, we will need volunteers to serve juice during the fellowship time after the 10:30 a.m. worship service. Don’t worry, you will not be asked to wash dishes. You only need to serve the juice which is stored in the fridge. Here’s a very easy way to serve your church – and you can make more friends in the process! Please sign the sheet in the narthex.
7. Congregational Questionnaire – As the Search Team begins its work to find a new Senior Minister, they would like your input . . . what skills do you think our new Minister should have? . . . what areas of ministry should we focus on? etc. To assist in this information gathering process the team would request everyone, high school age and above, to complete the Congregational Questionnaire which you’ll find in the attachment along with a letter.
