NEXT SUNDAY IS CELEBRATION SUNDAY! A traditional service will
be held at 8:00 and the special "Love Wins" Celebration Service will take
place at 10:15. "Love Wins" will combine worship songs, narration and other
elements as we reflect upon Jesus' love for Mary, Martha and Lazarus in
John 11. Children will not only join us in the service but will be a part of it!
We ask that families with children sit in the left section as you enter (the
piano side) so that they can all be encouraged to run together to see the Jesus
character when he enters the sanctuary and sing him a song. Please also
encourage them to bring their very own offering to the service: a picture,
drawing, poem, flower or anything they would like to give when the
congregation comes forward with its tithes and offerings. God continues to
do great things among us--let's lift up His name in praise!
CAN YOU DIG IT? Help needed to plant the HCOB Rising Light Garden
Saturday, May 14th at 1:00 PM! Bring your garden implements and happy
hearts as we plant seeds and veggies for Water Street Ministries next to the
pavilion. Thanks!
ONGOING FOOD PANTRY NEEDS—Cereal, peanut butter, jelly, pasta,
spaghetti sauce, rice, tuna & other canned meats, macaroni & cheese,
canned fruits, vegetables, juice, canned tomatoes (14-16 oz). Please
continue to donate grocery bags.
CALLING ALL MUSICIANS...we need your help! As summer
