News and Notes From This Week's Bulletin - May 3, 2009

National Day Of Prayer (May 7) theme is Prayer America's Hope! It's based on Psalm 33:22, which says, "May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You.” This is an extremely critical time in America's history. From economic pressures, to the ongoing threat of terrorism, to the unraveling of our culture's moral fabric, many people are dealing with a deep sense of uncertainty and apprehension
However, we can be confident that when we come to God in humble prayer, He hears us and stands ready to respond to our cries for help. Our forefathers sought the Almighty for guidance and safekeeping; and we, too, can depend on His divine intervention if we will turn to Him in repentance and prayer. That will be our purpose as we gather with other people of faith across the nation on May 7th. For more information, go to this website: http://www.ndptf.org/

Pot Luck Dinner will be held on Sunday, May 17, 2009, after worship. It will be a classic potluck dinner with an entrĂ©e provided. Members are asked to consider a $2 donation to help cover expenses. Disposable pans are available next to the sign-up sheet for this event, and each dish to pass will “cover” four people so those who do cook are encouraged to partner up with those who do not so that we can be sure of plentiful, delicious and varied dishes! Contributions of good look, charm and especially dish-pan hands are also important so come on down and join the fun. Any questions, speak to Shelly Dunne.

Confirmation Reunion Celebration On Sunday, June 28th, we will remember our Confirmation and renew our Baptismal vows. We are looking to locate as many former members as possible. Forms to be filled out can be found on the lounge table. Any questions please see Eleanor Cott or Betty Wood.
