Happy Friday, Church Family! 

Last Sunday our church was blessed to receive a wonderful message from Rev. Elizabeth Villegas on the call of Eli. So many of you have shared how much the message she offered impacted you so I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to listen! If you’d like to hear Elizabeth’s message, simply click this link (https://wrightsborounitedmethodi.subspla.sh/vff5yjn)!

This Sunday I’ll be preaching on 1 John 4, a chapter that includes well known verses such as, “we love because God first loved us” and “perfect love casts out fear.” This is an important scripture passage to help us understand what the New Testament refers to when it talks about “love.” As we dig into this word together, you might be surprised by what we find. 

Lastly, on Pentecost Sunday, May 19th, we are going to have a church family picnic. There’s more info on that below, but as we celebrate the birthday of the church, I invite us all to wear red (red is the color often symbolizing the Holy Spirit) and enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship and family. Please mark this date on your calendar and plan to stick around after service! 

I pray you have a wonderful weekend and I will see you on Sunday! 

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Angelo

NORB-E CHURCH VBS ANNOUNCEMENT

We are so excited to announce that NORB-E is coming to our VBS on 

Sunday July 21st- Wednesday July 24th

From 5:30-8:00pm  

His name is Non-Organic Robot Buddy—Explorer Class, but you can call him NORB-E. He’s a space exploration assistant tasked with helping us on our mission to seek the glory of God in the furthest reaches of the universe. 

You’d better buckle up, though, there’s turbulence ahead! Captain Crank is the crankiest kitty in all of outer space, and he won’t stop until our plans are puuurfectly foiled. Don’t worry, though! With the help of NORB-E, we’ll outwit that cranky kitty and discover that the glory of God is out of this world!

You can register your children via this link here NORBE VBS REGISTRATION 

Typically This program will be for children ages 4 through just passed 5th grade. If you would like to learn more about our volunteer opportunities and/or have further questions please contact Hannah Nguyen. 

This is going to be an incredible week, and we don’t want anyone to miss out—so invite your friends, neighbors, and classmates to get in on this intergalactic VBS action! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We can’t wait to see your kids at VBS! It’s going to be a blast!
