Volunteers are needed to help set up and clean up on Communion Sundays. We need 4 teams of 2 people each communion Sunday. It’s easy, fun, and doesn’t take a lot of time or talent. If you are interested, sign up on the sheet provided on the bulletin board. Our goal is to get enough people so that each team only volunteers once a year. Thank you and bless you for serving the Lord through this ministry in His church.

College & Career will be meeting this evening for dinner and study at 6:00 PM at the Maier’s.

Please periodically check your church mailbox located in the library.

The Primetimer ABF will begin a new study in the book of I Peter today during the 10 AM hour. Jack Brown will be the class facilitator.

Do you have returnable pop cans/bottles that you are willing to donate towards Rachel Woolard’s Summer Youth Mission Project? If so, place them in the gym in the marked container.

The Thursday morning (9:30 - 11:30 AM) Ladies Bible Study is now studying the Epistle of Colossians. Come and revel in His Word as we delve into the riches we have in Christ - our all in all. Childcare is provided.

The Marquette County Habitat for Humanity ReStores in Harvey & Skandia are moving to their new location next to Jack’s IGA in Harvey. Volunteers are needed to pack, move, sort, and organize the merchandize. If you can help out, please contact Jane at 228-3578 or by email Jane@mqthabitat.org

Are you missing your Bible, check out the Lost and Found table by the outside door near the kitchen. We would encourage you to put your name inside the front cover so that we can put forgotten or found Bibles in your mailboxes.

Off-Sites VBS 2008
Son World Adventure Park


This year Son World Adventure Park is all about choices. Come join us as we encourage children to make good choices that will change their lives forever.
The choices we make in a theme park will determine the kind of day we’ll have. What Ride to go on, or which snack or drink to choose. But the big and little choices we make every day will determine what kind of lives we’ll have, we will discover who Jesus is and how we will choose to respond to Him.

I pray you will CHOOSE to make a difference in the life of a child. Sign up today! Pick a day, a week, an hour.

We will be offering this exciting VBS at 4 Different Sites:
June 23rd - 27th, 9:30-11:30am at The Preserve at Orianna Ridge
June 23rd - 27th, 1:30-3:30pm at Whetstone Village
