Weekly Update, May 19th 2023

Hi church,

I'm looking forward to our Summer Kickoff after church this Sunday--food, Sundae Bar, and Corn Hole tournament! It should be a great time of fellowship.

I want to mention the ordination of Alex Streitmater, our Student Pastor, on Sunday, May 28th during the service. Alex was licensed for ministry over 4 years ago and I think it is time for him to be ordained. In my time here, Alex has displayed a good theological mind, communicates well across generations, demonstrates integrity, leads meetings well, cares for people, and is a solid preacher. I have truly enjoyed working with him and look forward to his continued growth and impact here. Alex is pursuing further education in theological studies. He and his wife are a blessing to our church! I hope you'll be part of this occasion.

Summer Kick-off Fellowship

This Sunday, immediately after the worship service behind the church. Two food trucks will be onsite and families are welcome to purchase lunch or bring a picnic to eat. We will be hosting our first annual Corn Hole tournament which includes a trophy! The church will also be providing drinks and an Ice Cream Sundae Bar for everyone to enjoy. (Note: We are having the Chevy's Fresh Mex truck and Truck of Deliciousness onsite for lunch. Entrees are ~ $8-$12 each).

Business Meeting

We will have our monthly business meeting on May 24 at 6:25pm in the worship center. We will review the financial reports and vote on a new member of the audit committee.

SonShiners Tour & Lunch

The SonShiners (ages 55 and up) will be touring London Town including the William Brown House and Gardens on May 25. The tour is one hour and will begin promptly at 11am. We will be carpooling from the church, meeting at 10am. The cost is $12 payable to Weems Creek. We will be eating lunch at the IHOP in Edgewater afterward. If you are unable to attend the tour, we’d love for you to join us for lunch at 12:30pm. Please sign up at the Connect Center.

Prayer Card

If there is something you would like the pastors to pray for, please fill out a prayer card located in the seat pockets. You give the card to a pastor or place it in the offering plate.

See you Sunday!

Pastor Bryan
