Sermon Text: Psalm 47
Sermon Title: "Power in Praise"
1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with loud songs of joy.
2 For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.
3 He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
5 God has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the king of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm.
8 God is king over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.
9 The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.
Prelude Music

Youth Happenings
Hello all and Happy May -
On May 31st, we will celebrate Pentecost, a holy day that recognizes the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles. Because of this, we will spend each week in May learning about ways that the Holy Spirit helped guide the apostles during the early days of the church. We will also learn ways that we can let the Holy Spirit guide us in our own lives today.
May 3 - The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost Acts 2:1-13, 42-47
May 10 - Simon the Sorcerer Acts 8:9-25
May 17 - Saul's Conversion on the Road to Damascus Acts 9:1-19
May 24 - Conversion of Cornelius the Centurion Acts 10:24-48
Peace,
Kaitlin

Crisis Control Ministry
This is a difficult time in all our lives. Most of us thought this
Pandemic could never happen right here in Forsyth County.
There are people without a job who might be waiting on unemployment benefits. There are others who have a past-due notice from a utility company or a notice saying the rent is due. For others, there
is very little food in the cupboard or a prescription is needed for a child.
Crisis Control Ministry is here to help but without our help, it is very limited.
We, as a church, have been participating in their Food of the Month program for several years.
For the month of May, I am asking that you purchase FRUIT OR VEGETABLE JUICE
(NON-PERISHABLE.) Originally this item was TOILET PAPER but most suppliers have empty shelves. Should the day come when it is plentiful again, and you would like to purchase it, great! Crisis Control Ministry (and I like to use the word "Ministry" because it truly is) helps many people with survival needs on any given day. The days we are experiencing now are worse than many others. Our church doors are still closed but they will open again soon. Please purchase what you can, set it aside at home, and bring it to the church when we can freely return to the church and place it in the large, white box in the entry of the Education Wing.
This action is very simple and together we can make a huge difference in someone else's life.
I look forward to the day when we can see each other again.
Until then, I pray we all stay safe and healthy.
Much love,
Becky Minnix

Samaritan Ministries
The shelter has a year-round list of needs that are always appreciated. They especially have shortages of men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and socks. Food items are canned meats and #10 size canned fruits, vegetables and applesauce. Please place your items next to the white bin in the foyer outside the office or in the church office.
