Family & Friends Fellowship Feast & Deacon ElectionMay 4th ~ 12:00p

The new quarter for our Discipleship Classes starts on Sunday, May 4th. We will celebrate that day with a family and friends fellowship feast! To start with, you can feast on God’s Word by coming to a discipleship class starting at 11:10am. We have two great adult classes to choose from, as well as wonderful classes for the youth and children to attend.—see details on page 20.

The feast on God’s Word will be followed by a covered dish meal at 12:00pm. In order for this to truly be a feast, we are asking that each family bring enough food for themselves and another family. Please bring a main item, side item(s) and dessert. The drinks will be supplied by the church. An easy way to keep your meal warm during church and the discipleship hour is by bringing a crock pot meal (there are many plugs throughout the church).

We are looking forward to feasting and fellow-shipping for the start of the new quarter.

Time to update the Membership Directory! Some of the photos in our Membership Directory are very out of date (you know who you are)..... children have

grown taller and families have a+d+d+e+d more

children.....some haven’t changed a bit, but we want to see proof!You may e-mail a current photo ( jpeg or png format) to Krisy at [email protected] or have the opportunity on Sunday, May 18th to have your photo taken by Casey

Boyte in the Church Lobby during fellowship time.
