News and Notes for Sunday, May 20, 2012

Sunday School – Today is the last day of Sunday School before summer break. The Adult Bible Study class will continue to meet through the summer.

Bbq Returns This Summer: This year we're once again going to sponsor a summer Bible Study.  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 of the expenses for food.  If you are interested, please sign-up on the sheet on the table in the church lounge.  We need volunteers to set-up, cook, and clean-up. (These tasks will not take long.)  If you can volunteer, please sign your name under the task you would like to volunteer.  Please come.  Bring a friend.  I believe you will find this study most interesting and helpful.
