Midweek Meetup: Week of April 23
Verse of the Day~
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” (Psalm 118:1-2)
Prayer~
Jesus, What more can I say but ‘thank You’ for Your life, death, and resurrection for my sake. Help me to live as Your glad and grateful servant. Amen.
Meeting Jesus ~
We celebrate the Baptism of Celest Fraker this Sunday in worship, as we welcome Nate Clem into our membership. We praise God for the gift of new life in Jesus, and the gift of new commitment within the church family.
Meeting Friends ~
This Sunday in worship and fellowship we honor our high school and college graduates from the church and youth group. This year’s high school graduates are Livia Smith, Adalynn Hart, and Keo Fisher. We also congratulate Nancy Schleich’s grandson Nick Paolucci. Our college graduates are Jaden Smith, Elisabeth Chambers, and Karl Ludwig. [Note: There are often graduates we’re unaware of in the extended church family. If we didn’t know or have forgotten (we’re only human), PLEASE let us know so we can include them.]
Sharing Hope ~
David Mackey heads to South Africa this summer for a ministry internship through the Annex at Grace Commons Church. The Easter Offering in support of his trip is at just over $3200, and we hope we can collect even more. We will keep the fund open through the end of the month so please give generously as you are able.
Finally…
A mighty thanks to God for everyone who gave of their time, energy, and talents to make our celebrations of Holy Week and Easter so meaningful for so many. A special shout out to the Fellowship and Worship Teams, with a particular thank you to Mary Johnston for stepping in while Marilyn Chambers (our Worship Coordinator) was visiting family in Iowa.
