Have you been considering helping with childcare at the CCCC Annual Family Conference at the Adam’s Mark July 21-24? A meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 21 from 10:00 – 12 noon at the Fluvanna Community Church. See Lori Clapper for details.
During this time of increasing expenses, we are beginning to lag behind in some of our financial commitments. Let’s join together with generous, thankful hearts, praying that God would continue to bless the ministry that extends outward from this place. For he is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20).
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Harriet and the rest of the Rupp family. The flowers at the front of the sanctuary are donated in Ellsworth’s memory, who passed away last Sunday. His funeral was held here yesterday afternoon.
Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher.
