Family Ministries Spotlight

Shelby Hires has grown up in this church and is an active member of our Sunday School program. Please read about her amazing Kindness Cup and follow Shelby’s Mission here. Her heart for others has grown into something incredible and is an example of how one tiny act of kindness can be so powerful! Shelby will be here with a table after church on Sunday, June 6th. Everyone is invited to come out and support her efforts and learn first-hand what one very faithful young disciple has been able to accomplish. Great job, Shelby, for being the hands and feet of Christ!
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR MUSIC THIS WEEK

Get out your red outfits, Today is Pentecost! With all the changes happening, this remarkable high point of the church year has been put on hold and so to restore its rightful place in our year, this Sunday’s service will be special. Not only do we look forward to a guest speaker but to a vocal trio who will sing to us the story of the presence of the Holy Spirit among us. Rob Jacoby, Russell McFee and Lynne Spotts will offer three anthems especially written for Pentecost.
YOUTH GROUP UPDATE

On June 5th, the Youth Group will join Fred Cone in sorting food at the Feeding South Florida warehouse. Fred is a regular volunteer, and the Youth Group is really looking forward to getting back into volunteering again. Thank you Fred for setting this up!

Vacation Bible School is a week full of Bible adventure! We will take a journey back to a time long ago and far away place as we quest for the King’s armor. Knights of North Castle is a time for children to armor up with truth, justice, peace, faith and salvation. There will be cool music, exciting science, creative crafts, fun recreation, and unforgettable Bible stories. We can’t wait to see you at the castle! Our preschool enrollment is currently FULL, however we do still have space for elementary students!
