Meet in the Garden Multipurpose Room this Saturday, June 4 at 8:30 am to finish up the work on the welcome baskets for Methodist Children's Home. Thank you to all who have purchased items or donated to the May communion offering in support of this work.  Communion offering to date:$1,462.00.

Every summer we are given the gift of offering a safe space for the children of our community to laugh, play, and participate in faith development. This is a gift the members of our church provide and we need many hands to make this a success. If you would like to volunteer, we invite you to attend the volunteer meeting this Sunday, June 5 immediately following worship in the Garden Multipurpose Room. We will look at the themes for each night and assign tasks and responsibilities. We will keep this meeting as brief as possible. If you would like to help but cannot attend the meeting, let Pastor Dawn know. And spread the word for all to register their kids for Gospel and Games! You may register your child and/or signup to volunteer here.

This Sunday we begin our "I've Got a Question" worship series. Each Sunday a panel from our congregation will engage in conversation around the questions you have sent in. There is no way to answer them all and quite frankly one Sunday morning isn't even enough for some of the questions, but we look forward to thinking deeply about our faith in this way. We will close out this series with a night of conversation Wednesday, June 29 @ 5:30. Bring a snack to share and come be in conversation with Pastor Dawn and others around all we heard and asked and lifted.
