Good afternoon Church,

While Spring winds down and we prepare for the heat of Summer, we will be making a few adjustments. It has been difficult to get hospitality sign-ups, so In June and July, we will offer hospitality twice a month. In June, you can sign up for hospitality on June 11 or June 25. In July you can sign up on July 16 or July 30. Thank you for all that you have contributed towards hospitality this past year.

Even though Sunday School is on hiatus until August, we will be introducing “New Covenant Kids” Summer Program this Sunday, so parents/grandparents as you come to worship, you can drop your kids off in the Friendship Hall for their Summer Program. They will rejoin us for Communion during the worship service.

VBS is on its way, and we are praying for a spiritually uplifting week for the 110+ children who will be attending and their families, as well as 60+ volunteers who will be assisting us throughout the week. Please pray for our VBS Team and children. Pray also that we would be able to connect with five new families in our worship life. We want to thank Annie and Alex for their amazing planning, preparation, and prayers. It is going to be a GREAT week!

Last Sunday was a wonderful celebration of Pentecost with our Traditional Service and our Family Worship Service. We celebrated our fourth baptism for the month, and we ate some “Red” Pentecost Cake! What a wonderful way to give thanks for and welcome the power of the Holy Spirit into our midst! This Sunday we will look at Matthew 28:16-20, as we celebrate “Trinity Sunday!” I hope to see you this Sunday!
