Minute for Missions
Our missions committee continues to thrive. Throughout the course of the last year we have navigated trying times, but God is faithful in all seasons. Here is an update on one of our local mission partners, the Edna Runner Tutorial Center in West Jupiter. We continue to provide gift cards for the Food for Families program supporting lower income families who need food assistance through the Center. Edna Runner is currently looking for volunteers who can assist with tutoring and community events for students as well as seniors. If you would like to learn more about this great opportunity, please see Crystal Botha in the church office for more information or talk to someone on our Missions Committee. Together we continue to be the hands and feet of Christ in our world.

MUSIC THIS WEEK
Rob Jacoby will be singing an anthem composed by the Author of Save the Beatles. He is a “techie” who has become a sacred musician in Minneapolis and his music, as you will hear, is quite different from the usual anthem. Short, but meaningful!
We will also enjoy together the hymns set to the tunes Morecambe and Cwm Rhondda. You already know both of those, so this Sunday, sing extra loud to fill the church with the sound of voices, not keyboard.

Library

Meetings
As we move towards further loosening of restrictions, we find ourselves with the wonderful predicament of sharing space! Please make sure all your in-person meetings are scheduled through the Church Office to make sure we have adequate space to accommodate everyone's needs.
