Weekly Update - April 14th, 2023

Hi church,

With the warmer weather arriving, it is time to start planning for VBS! This year our VBS will run from July 23-27. We are looking forward to a great VBS. Prayerfully consider how you can participate to make a difference with the children and their families.

There is a lot happening with our church -- a good thing! Please make sure to read over the update.

Dad’s Night Off – NFL Draft Edition

This is a time for dads (with children from newborn to high school) to come together for food, fellowship and community. We can’t think of a better way than watching your favorite football franchise draft the player that will bring them to the Super Bowl (but probably not…)! Join us on Apr. 27 at 7:30pm in the multipurpose room.

Church Workday – April 29th, 9am-noon

Just as we must maintain our houses, the Lord’s house needs to be maintained too. We are looking forward to this great time of fellowship, getting to know each other better and getting some work done around the church. There are inside and outside tasks – from moving mulch and picking up sticks to cleaning out closet and dusting. There’s a job for everyone – young and old! We will end the workday with a burgers and hot dogs!

Women’s Tea

All ladies (from birth up) are invited to the Women’s Tea on May 6th from noon – 2pm. Join us for finger foods, fellowship and some tasty teas. Just for fun, please bring your own teacup or mug. Please register at this link Women's Tea Registration or sign up at the Connect Center.

There will be a meeting for all who are planning to go to Greece and any who are still considering it. The deadline for the mission trip has been extended to June 1st. There are still several spots available. If you are interested, please plan to attend the meeting immediately after church on April 23.

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is the primary way Southern Baptists fund missions in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to this offering go to the field to support more than 2,400 missionary families serving across the United States and Canada. The donations are used to train and resource missionaries in church planting and compassion ministries, as well as create evangelism resources. Our goal is $15,000. So far, we have collected $7,826.

See you Sunday!
