Every One His Witness follows the worship service through this Sunday, May 28th.

Session 5, led by Wilson Shearin, continued with the LASSIE (Seeking and Sharing) approach to witnessing. LASSIE is not a series of steps; it is a natural progression from Listening and Asking to Seeking and Sharing. By listening to a person and asking questions that encourages them to share more, we learn about them as a person, their relationships, their experiences, their world view, and their understanding of religion – in other words, we learn their story. We know that, in some way or another, their story intersects with Jesus’ story because Jesus’ story is relevant to every human being. By understanding their story, we have a basis for seeking a point of connection between their story and Jesus’ story. Understanding that point of connection is a powerful way for us to share Jesus’ story with someone in a way that they can understand and relate to.

VBS is approaching quickly! Register now! Your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews, tell your friends and your neighbors... Pray that God leads you to adults who can enroll their children so that they can hear about God's Promise of Salvation!

The combined total from the two Muffin Sundays was $562, which will cover a good portion of our expenses. Thanks to all who participated!

Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday in May, honors the men and women who died while serving in the military. This solemn occasion is a time to reflect on these American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting and defending the country they deeply loved. Major Ceremony and ANC Wreath Laying at Tomb of Unknown.

On Memorial Day you can honor the fallen by attending memorial services within your community or laying flowers and planting flags on graves at your local Veterans cemetery.... or simply a moment of Prayer at 3 p.m.

You do not have to wait for a national holiday to show your gratitude to Service members. Any day is a good day to support Veterans either through a charity or giving a heartfelt “thank you” to those who served.

The Ladies of Grace had a wonderful time at the May “Picnic” Luncheon. They enjoyed Charlie Lyons’ grilled hamburgers, a variety of delicious sides made by the ladies, and yummy homemade ice cream by Suzie. A group of ladies stayed to fill children’s activity bags. Thanks to all!

Note: Our next luncheon will not be until September.

After the luncheon, the Ladies of Grace put together 72 Children Blessing Bags. The bags are handed out to the children of visitors who attend our Sunday worship service. Each bag contains an activity or coloring book, stickers, colored pencils or crayons and a small Biblical book. A big “Thank You” to everyone who participated. These bags have been joyously received by the children and the parents (who also receive a Grace Coffee Mug and a homemade baked item). It is truly a blessing that our ladies support this mission for those who choose to worship with us.

Also, we extend a HUGE thank you to Walmart for the donation of 150 packages of colored pencils. This donation has a value of $200.00. Soon, Walmart will donate packages of large Crayola crayons for the ages of children 4 and under bags. The Lord has truly blessed this new missionary outreach.
