The Profile Committee will be publishing the profile soon, and nominations will be accepted beginning April 2. Check out this info to learn more about this search. And as always, please keep this effort in your prayers.

Help us make a real and long-lasting difference in the lives of others and provide the hope of the redeemed.
JULY 7
Church Family Build
How can our youngest members be the heart and hand of Jesus? At our recent children’s ministry dinner, families expressed the desire to be more involved in hands on mission work. The upcoming Church Family Build is an opportunity for our entire church community to come together to help our youngest members deepen their faith and work together to serve our local community. Rather than doing a traditional Vacation Bible School this summer, we will be using this opportunity to help our children participate in our vision, “Be the Church.” The day will include music, crafts, games, a picnic lunch, followed by hands on mission work on the campus of CCE. While the vision for this event was inspired by our children, we are excited to offer this opportunity to the entire congregation! Stay tuned for more info in the coming months and reach out to Rev. Richard Pelkey with any questions.
Upcoming Baptism Dates

If you have a child you’d like to be baptized, or if you’re an adult who never had the opportunity, please speak with Rev. Shirley about scheduling your baptism.
Wow! Thank you!
A big shout out and thank you to the congregation for your generous contributions to our first annual “Buy the Book” initiative! We raised enough funds to add to our book collection by purchasing 250 more books that are culturally appropriate for the children of George Mason Elementary School.
Register your child now for summer camp at Shrine Mont!
