ANNOUNCEMENTS

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.

 A fellowship meal following the service is NOT planned at this time.

Several people have expressed interest in joining our fellowship as members – Bruce and Shirley Brown, Julia Haney, Katie Yoder, and Rebekah Yoder.

  They have all met the church’s membership requirements, and the elders

 are happy to recommend each for membership.  We are planning

 to proceed with this event during next week’s service. 

If there are questions or concerns, please see Derek or an Elder.

CALENDAR

Wednesday, May 29^th

Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us at the church for Bible study and prayer at 7:00 pm.  We’re well into our survey of the Old Testament prophets – their ministries, their message, and their madness!  We’re looking at Malachi’s 5^th oracle (“Return to Me and I Will Return to You”).  It’s a great time to join us!

Saturday, June 1^st

Sunday School Teacher meeting here at church beginning at 10:00 am.

Sunday, June 2^nd

3DYouth Group meets here at 6:00 pm for life lessons from Ruth followed by activities and refreshments.

Saturday, June 8^th

We are pleased to welcome T. David Gordon back to North Collins for our 10^th Annual Leadership Forum.  Dr. Gordon, who currently serves as Professor of Greek and Religion at Grove City College, will address the theme:

Meeting With God: A Biblical Theology of Worship.

 “The God who banished us from his presence and barred us from it with cherubim and flaming swords,” says Dr. Gordon, “will one day redeem us in the last Adam; and ‘the dwelling place of God will be with men, and he will dwell with them.’”  Plan now to join us for what is sure to be an enjoyable, challenging time of study and application.  See the sign-up in the foyer.

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.
