Dear Fourth Church,

It's 40 days and counting until our summer evening Hymn Sing led by special guests Sandra McCracken and her husband Tim Nicholson. See below for details and a Spotify playlist to help you prepare.

Parents, take note that the Nursery has reopened for infants to 2 year olds during the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. services. You can register your children in the classrooms with their caregiver. An usher can direct you to the appropriate room. This is a good moment to pray for the Children's Ministry and all those who are gearing up to minister to the little ones among us.

Every summer, Fourth welcomes young college students to serve in youth ministry, and this Sunday we have the opportunity to further our investment in that vital ministry as we receive the Annual Summer Staff Offering. And on that same note: this Sunday afternoon, Summer Staff plus just shy of 100 students depart for Summer Camp at NorthBay, in North East, Maryland. Please pray for a joyful, fruitful time of gospel ministry as well as safety for all.

Grace to you,

Don Nalle
