ANNOUNCEMENTS

Thank you to all who gave so generously to help meet our 1st quarter missionary budget. We are less than $100 from our goal. Any surplus will be applied to next quarter’s giving. Don’t forget, all mission contributions must be designated.
– Thank you, Audrey Krebs

In preparation for our upcoming Leadership Forum with T. David Gordon in May, we’ll be working through his Johnny books – “Why Johnny Can’t Preach” and “Why Johnny Can’t Sing Hymns” for our next Coffee with Calvin reading group. If you’re interested in joining us, see Derek.

Next Sunday we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. If you would like to participate but are unable to be here, see Derek or one of the Elders to arrange another time. Don’t be shy about taking full advantage of this important gesture of unity with Christ and his body.
We will share a fellowship meal together following the service. Bring a dish to pass! Also, plan to linger over dessert and coffee as we hold our first family meeting of 2011. Come with any general questions or concerns you may have. Be thinking specifically about outreach – strategies and suggestions to help us be more effective witnesses for the gospel.
