Lots of excitement and joy this Sunday, as our new lead pastor, Josh Harder, and his family join us! They have officially moved and are as excited as we are for this new chapter.  We'll bless them this Sunday as well as Michael and Donna as all transition to new positions. You can greet Josh and Dania after both services in the Cafe. All the elementary children and youth will join us in the big service until after the blessing.

And while you're in the Cafe this Sunday, would you take a moment to write a quick note to one of our 25 children going to camp? We've provided the note cards and mail box. This will bless them for sure!

 
See you Sunday...

Ministry Opportunity - caring for our little ones 
Our nursery director, Veronica Moreno, has let us know that she is losing 4 of her regular volunteers because they are having babies! She is in need of immediate help. This is such an impactful place to serve! This is where our children get their first impressions of the body of Christ. This is where they form connections and learn about Jesus' great love for them. Please email Veronica if you can help with this need for our little ones. Time commitments are flexible!
 
Sharing God's abundance with those in need! 
Check our our new chalkboard in the Cafe as an excellent way to share what you have and express what you need.
Thanks to Gillian Evans for this great idea!
