3DYouth Group meets here at 6:00 pm TONIGHT for life lessons from Mark followed by games and refreshments.

The North Collins High School will be using our building for extra testing space one more time.  The last group meets here on Monday.  Thank you for your understanding as we try to be good neighbors (and good lights) to our friends across the street.

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 planned!

If you are looking for ways to help in the wake of the Nepalese earthquake, you may want to consider routing charitable gifts to the Nepal Disaster Relief Fund through Christian Aid Mission, P.O. Box 9037, Charlottesville, VA 22906.  Indicate Gift Code 702DIS.

Calendar
Wednesday, June 3rd
Choir practice at 6:00 pm.

Join us for Bible study and prayer at the church at 7:00 pm.  In our survey of the great themes of Genesis, we’re beginning Chapter 12 and the life of Father Abraham.  It’s a great time to join us!

Saturday, June 6th
3DYouth service project in the morning with Community Concern in Eden.  More details on the way.

Saturday, June 13th and Sunday, June 14th
Plan now to join us for our 12th annual Leadership Forum.  T. David Gordon, this year’s guest lecturer, will be with us to speak (tentatively) about the idea of “temple” in redemptive history, in eschatology, and in Christian worship.  It’s sure to be an enjoyable, challenging weekend of learning and application. 

Sunday, June 28th
3DYouth Year-End Picnic at the Doles’ Pond.  Plan to meet at 4:00 pm for our regular time of worship and singing, life lessons from Mark, and games, followed by a picnic meal of hot dogs & s’mores.


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.
