Welcome to the first Sunday of Summer Schedule!
Don’t forget that family worship begins at 9:30 am.  During the summer months, life in the church dials down.  Sunday School is suspended, 3DYouth takes a break, and worship lets out early.  Let’s use this extra time to refresh our spiritual lives!  “There is an appointed time for everything.  And there is a time for every delight under heaven.”

We are collecting a farewell love offering for the Browns.  If you would like to contribute, get your checks and cash gifts to Audrey, designated “BROWN’S LOVE GIFT”.  Also, Bruce is planning to load the moving van at 10:00 on Saturday morning, July 5th.  If you’re free and would like to help, it would be much appreciated.

We hope you can join us this afternoon anytime between 4-7:00 pm
 at the Doles’ pond to celebrate Katie’s graduation from high school.
                                                     – Alice and Derek

Wednesday, July 2nd
Choir practice at 6:00 pm.

Join us for Bible study and prayer meeting at the church at 7:00 pm. We’ve begun a survey of the great themes of Genesis.  It’s a great time to join us!

Wednesday, July 9th
This year’s Ladies’ Tea will be held at The Lord’s Garden, 9998 Clarksburg Road, Eden.  Suggested cost is $20 per person, which covers a lovely lunch and a walk through beautiful gardens.  Invite a friend.  Sign up in the foyer.

Sunday, July 13th
Communion Sunday.



Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.  Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
