Dear Fourth Church, What a joy it has been to gather for worship in a new setting these past two Sundays and settle into a new morning schedule. We are also settling into warmer weather, which means summer's not far away. Here's a brief look at upcoming events to help you plan ahead: Registration Open Youth Summer Camp (rising 6-12 graders) — June 19–23 Vacation Bible School (age 3–rising 5th graders) — July 11–15 Save the Date Men's Breakfast — Tuesdays, May 17; June 14, 28; July 26 Baccalaureate Service — Sunday, May 15, 6:00 p.m. Youth Bible Studies (rising 6-12 graders) — Tuesdays, beginning May 31 All-Church Summer Fellowship — Sundays after the Evening Service, beginning May 29 Hymn Sing with Kevin Twit — Sunday, June 12, 6:00 p.m. See below for details. Women's Book Club — Tuesdays, beginning June 21 Music Camp (2nd–8th graders) — Saturday, July 30, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Notes for Sunday In light of the reduced space available in Halverson Hall during renovations, please take advantage of the elbow room and comfortable seating in The Commons, Room 231, off of Halverson Hall. It's open on Sundays to enjoy fellowship. If you are still looking for a Sunday School Class, visit the Adult Discipleship page.

Grace to you, Genna Repich For the Communications Team

Hymn Sing with Kevin Twit of Indelible Grace Sunday, June 12, 6:00 p.m., Upper Room

We're excited to announce our next Hymn Sing led by Kevin Twit, founder of Indelible Grace Music and Reformed University Fellowship Campus Pastor at Belmont University in Nashville. Kevin and his son Cooper will lead us in singing and share the rich stories behind the hymns. Because these time-tested songs are honest about suffering and explicit about the gospel, this Hymn Sing presents a wonderful opportunity to bring friends. Stick around for outdoor fellowship and the dessert food truck afterward.
