A Weekend to Remember!
This weekend was full of fun and memories at Perdido Bay United Methodist Church. It began with a Family Fun Night at the Blue Wahoos Game on Friday, then Sunday morning we honored our 13 graduating High School Seniors. Sunday evening the Elementary Children's Ministry hosted a "Next Adventure Celebration" to give a fun farewell to families who are moving on. The youth ministry was also invited to partake in the wonderful treats from the food trucks! At the same time, our new College and Career Ministry enjoyed a time of go-carts and more!
Honoring the Salibas
Sunday, June 5, Noon-1:30pm
The SPRC is sponsoring a farewell reception for the Saliba Family in the Activities Center. Please join us in a goodbye gathering with some tasty treats, surprises, and sweet words as we send David, Elizabeth, Joseph, Grace, and Jacob on to their next adventure. We will have a basket for you to deposit a personal sendoff note as well.

If you would like to send a short (1-3 sentence) statement of what David and the Salibas have meant to you, send it via video (recorded in landscape/wide format) or in writing to Holly Tye via text at 706 573 6528 by TODAY, May 16.
