ANNOUNCEMENTS
The ISI Conference Memorial Day Weekend is just 2 weeks away.   If you have an extra bed or two and are willing to be a “bed & breakfast” for a couple of nights, let Harriett Rupp know. 

It’s not too late to contribute to the Dorothy Steff Hymnal Fund!  We could use about 60 more at $15.00 each.  If you would like to fill out an order form on the back table, you may do so.  Otherwise, we will create an order based on our donations.  The next order will hopefully be placed in mid-June.  It would be helpful to our Treasurer if you would mark your gift: "Hymnal Fund." Thank you for your generosity, and may God bless us as we worship him in joyful song!

CALENDAR
TONIGHT!  Sunday, May 20th 
3DYouth Group meets at the First Church of Evans at 6:00 pm.  Life lessons from Timothy followed by whiffle ball with MPB and refreshments.

Wednesday, May 23rd  
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us at the church at 7:00 pm for Bible study and prayer.  We are moving into Chapter 10 in our study in Hebrews (“The Supremacy of Christ”).  Also, be meditating on the next hymn in our discussion series (“And Can it Be?”).  Extra copies are on the back table along with T. David Gordon’s  “Hymns:  Criteria for Making Good Ones”.

Saturday, May 26th
Bill Reed’s memorial service is scheduled for noon on Saturday at Wentland’s followed by a luncheon here at the church. All are invited to attend.

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.
