Faith Formation Ministry
One Family Bible Class This week in Bible Class we study John 11 where Jesus raises Lazarus. In this life we see and experience the effects of sin: sickness, injury, and death. Jesus, who is the source of all life, will raise me and all who believe in Him to life with Him forever. where there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
Stewardship Sentence  Luke 7:41 "A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. . ." Our debt of sin and death has been paid by the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have been forgiven much, so we love the Lord much! How could we not therefore gladly and generously support the work of the Church in bringing this saving Gospel message to all nations, starting right at home in our own congregations? |

| Pennies for Pipes  The Pipes are calling! It seems that the time has come for the "semi-centennial" (every 50 years or so), check-up (lubricating) of the organ pipes, which has been scheduled for July of this year. In an effort to help defray some of this expense, we will place a large jar on the table in the back of the Sanctuary in an effort to collect "loose change" or those pennies from heaven to help achieve this goal. Apparently this endeavor is terribly labor intensive, so in a small way we can all contribute to this expense. Thank you to all young and old for your help. |
| Knoble Knotters Thanks very much the person who gave us the flannel fabric. If you are getting rid of sheets, we can use them too. We aren't meeting this June, July and August, but still need large pieces of fabric. |
| Church Work Days - Help Needed! We have several opportunities for volunteering coming up in June and July! Paint Day - When: Saturday, June 11 -- 8:30am to 11:00am

- Sign up here.
De-construction Day - When: Two choices...Saturday, July 2 and/or Saturday, July 9 -- 8:30am to 11:00am
- What: We need to tear up well worn carpeting and some tile in the Parish House to prepare these surfaces to save money for new covering scheduled to be installed later in the month.
