It is Pentecost Sunday, sometimes called, "The Birthday of the Church." Rev. Jim Warren will preach on Acts 2:1-21 and how the Holy Spirit complicates our lives. Find out what he means at the 9:00 traditional or 10:15 progressive One and All service. And, if you are so moved, wear red in observance of this special Pentecost celebration.
Music at the 9:00 service will have a Pentecost theme. Invite a friend to join you for great music and worship at the 10:15 progressive One and All service. We'll even provide the (light) breakfast! It'll take place in Fellowship Hall.
Pentecost Offering will be collected this Sunday and next.
A message about Gifts for Another Table:
During the month of June we are collecting food for the Center for Hope food pantry, who asks that we donate rice dinners, pasta and sauce, potato dinners and sauce, Hamburger Helper, boxed mashed potatoes, and canned vegetables/fruit.

Reminders
Things to Do While
You Are at Church
Don't forget! Pick up your Pictorial Directory at the Information Center. Those who had a picture taken for the directory may pick up their family's copy. Note: there is an online directory on our website (
www.blmfcc.com), accessed in the Member Portal or by a link below the red chalice on each page. Individual access codes have been sent via email or mail!
Check In on Facebook while you are at church (top right button on Facebook app news feed). At the One and All service feel free to use your device for social media, to share photos and thoughts about your worship experience as it happens.
Make a new friend! Greet a visitor. Show folks around and help them with questions they might have -- you might even invite them to Fellowship Time, which is a super way to break the ice! The bulletin is a great source of information for visitors, as is the Information Center. Let's be a welcoming church!
