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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

If you haven’t made summer vacation plans yet, you may want to consider Colorado Springs, host to the 64th Annual CCCC Family Conference, July 16-19. This year’s theme is “Making Disciples”. Check out the back table for more information on seminars, accommodations, and registration. See you in Colorado Springs!

Each year, the Conference invites churches to set aside one Sunday in May to highlight the ministries, developments, and special needs of the CCCC. We have designated today, May 27th, as Conference Sunday. Note the enclosed insert. For the next several weeks, we will be receiving special contributions designated to help support the ongoing ministries of the CCCC.

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. Our fellowship meal will take place later in the day, however, as part of the season’s first Sunday Night Out at the Doles’ pond.

The next order for hymnals will be placed in mid-June. We could use about 60 more at $15 each. If you would like to contribute to the Dorothy Steff Hymnal Fund, please fill out an order form on the back table. It is helpful to mark your check “Hymnal Fund”. Thank you for your generosity, and may God bless us as we worship Him in joyful song!
