Ladies’ Bible Study meets at Evie Mann’s home at 8:00 pm continuing on with a study entitled, “Praying the Psalms”.

Bible Study and Prayer Meeting begins at 7:00 pm. We are in the fourth chapter of Daniel (“Beauty and the Beast”). It’s a great time to join us!

The Wednesday evening Bible study group is renewing its commitment to be a prayer ministry of the church. If you have special items for prayer, let Derek know, and you can be assured that we will hold you up with fervent prayers before the Lord. Also, don’t be bashful to request that special needs get circulated throughout the congregation by means of our phone tree.

Saturday, June 21st
Have you been considering helping with childcare at the CCCC Annual Family Conference at the Adam’s Mark July 21-24? A meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 21 from 10:00 – 12 noon at the Fluvanna Community Church. See Lori Clapper for details.

During this time of increasing expenses, we are beginning to lag behind in some of our financial commitments. Let’s join together with generous, thankful hearts, praying that God would continue to bless the ministry that extends outward from this place. For he is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20).

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Harriet and the rest of the Rupp family. The flowers at the front of the sanctuary are donated in Ellsworth’s memory, who passed away last Sunday. His funeral was held here yesterday afternoon.

Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher.
