News and Notes for Sunday, May 27, 2012


BBQ Returns This Summer:  This year's theme is "The Church".  We will explore on the basis of the Bible such questions as "What is the Church?"; "Whose Church really is it?"; "What is the purpose of the Church?";  "What are the responsibilities of the pastor and members of "The Church?".  The course will run for six weeks.  We will meet on Wednesdays in the Pavilion beginning at 5:30 PM.  (If it rains or is too cold, we will meet in the Dorcas Room.)  We will eat from 5:30 to 6:15 PM.  Our Bible Study will run from 6:15 to 7:15 PM.  The first study will be Wednesday, June 20th.  Hamburgers, hotdogs, condiments, and drinks will be supplied.  Participants are asked to bring a salad or dessert.  There will be a free will offering to help defray some expenses. If you are interested, please sign-up in the church lounge.  We need volunteers to set-up, cook, and clean-up.  (These tasks will not take long.)  Please come.  Bring a friend.  I believe you will find this study most interesting and helpful.

Upcoming Graduates! Please notify the church office so we can recognize your achievement! Thanks!

Today Is Our Potluck Coffee Hour. Thanks to those who brought something to share!
