Please be in prayer…
Lord, please keep us from doing anything out
of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in
humility, help us to value others above
ourselves... In our relationships with one
another, help us to have the same mindset as
Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:3-5 NIV)

 In anticipation of resuming Children’s Church in the near future, we are seeking volunteers to
support this ministry. The Discipleship/Outreach Team has decided to err on the side of
caution by requiring that everyone working with the children be vaccinated. If you are fully
vaccinated and would like to volunteer, please contact Karen Wetherell. (At present we do not
have a sufficient number of volunteers to support this ministry.)

 The praise song for this week is “Mighty to Save” here is the link for you to sing along with the
choir on Sunday. https://youtu.be/W1jmqVU4RDo

Get Together!

Quarantine was hard! If you are ready to get back out in public and are over 55, won't you join us
for a short devotional, light lunch, and a discussion on what kind of monthly fellowship you might
like in the future? (Structured or unstructured, meeting and fellowship, or only a meal, fun or
educational activity in the community or stick to the church buildings, etc.? Help us decide.) Just
bring a sandwich. We'll provide fruit, chips, dessert, drinks, and paperware for you.
