CALENDAR
Wednesday, June 1st
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us for Bible study and prayer at 7:00 pm. We’re in Chapter 4 of our study in Hebrews called “The Supremacy of Christ”.

Sunday, June 12th
As part of the weekend celebration marking the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Village of North Collins, an outdoor worship service of thanksgiving is planned. Join Christians from our Village churches (Holy Spirit, Sacred Heart of Mary, Wesleyan, and Congregational) at the North Collins Library pavilion at 2:00 pm to thank God with song, historical testimonies, and a word of challenge. There will be an old-fashioned picnic to follow. Derek will be coordinating this service. If you’d like to help out, see him.

Join the 2011 North Collins Centennial Community Choir! There is a children’s choir (grade 4-6) and adult choir (grade 7 – adult) with various practice times. Contact Kathy Dole (337-2737) for more information.

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.
