† VBS BULLETIN BOARD  Plans for this year’s VBS, which will be held July 25-29, are underway!  Check out the Christian Education bulletin board in the Narthex.  If you are willing to help with VBS this year please be sure to complete the VBS Volunteer Sign-up Form located on the table under the bulletin board.   The sooner we know who is willing to help, the easier the planning process is.  

† SUNDAY SCHOOL students will be singing in Church next Sunday, May 16th. Students have been practicing two songs during Sunday School.  The songs are “My God Is So Great” and “Soul’s Celebration”.   We hope you can join us!

† TINY TOT SUNDAY SCHOOL is being offered the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month in the nursery classroom by Doug and Peggy S.  It is a 15 minute class to get the little ones used to coming to Sunday School. 

† WORSHIP NOTE  We have returned to the practice of kneeling at the Communion rail for the Sacrament.  As always, if you choose to stand you certainly may.  We will no longer be printing song sheets for the service, unless specifically requested.  Beginning May 16, it is our plan to stop offering the high precaution church service at 8:00 am.  We are also offering the common communion cup.  The common cup has always been optional  at our church  and will continue to be.  If you would like to offer any feedback we would welcome it.
