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!
