Wednesday Nights Are Returning!
Our big Wednesday night kick-off is coming up on June 2nd and will include worship, music (and a food truck from 5-6:30 pm.) You will be able to sign up for several different Bible studies, groups and activities that you and your family can enjoy. “14 Gospel Principals That Can Radically Change Your Life”, Infertility Support Group, “The Prophet Elijah” and others will be available for you to choose from. Come and check out the different studies, groups and activities and you are sure to find one that is just right for you.
Wednesday Night Bible Study - The Prophet Elijah
Join us each Wednesday night at 6 pm beginning on June 9th for a 7-Session Study on the Prophet Elijah from best-selling author Pricilla Shirer. Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah-calling down fire on Mount Carmel. Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory-months and years of development, event difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable. Sign up either online or at our big “Kick-Off Event” next Wednesday, June 2nd. Books are $17 and will be available at the first class June 9th.
Wednesday Night Study for Parents
14 Gospel Principals That Can Radically Change Your Family is a 7-week study that will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesdays beginning June 9th.
Facilitated by Steve & Laura Strange.
Urban Ministries
On Sunday, June 13th, we will have Garrett Harper, the Executive Director of Urban Ministries in all of our services. Garrett will be speaking about the work of Urban Ministries and the opportunity of a giving “match” that they will receive on donations of up to $100,000. We will have a special offering for Urban Ministries at each service. In addition, Missions will also match whatever donations are received through our church this Sunday. Please note “Urban Ministries” on the memo of your check.
WANDERERS Sunday Class
We're a refuge for the spiritually displaced. Anyone who's disoriented, disengaged, disaffected, or disconnected for whatever reason is invited for a weekly open discussion with a relaxed atmosphere, free from judgment and traditional boundaries. We promise not to have all of the answers. March 23, we are starting a study on "Genesis For Normal People," by Peter Enns and Jared Byas. We have books in class, so come on up. Sunday mornings at 9:45 am, Room 154 above the church offices, upstairs from the sanctuary.

Scheduling Church Events/Meetings
As we reopen, spaces are being utilized throughout the church by different groups. So, to ensure that your event or meeting is reserved and placed on the calendar, please be sure to contact the church office as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
Worship Tech Ministry Opportunities
The Worship Tech Team is currently looking for volunteers to assist in running the computer for the screens, the Sling for livestreaming and the soundboard. You will be taught everything you need to know and it is a great way to help in the production of our weekly services. If you're interested in joining our team, please contact Dan Shirah or the church office.
Stephen Ministry
During these uncertain times (financial stress, health concerns, loss of loved ones), you may find you need someone to talk to. A Stephen Minister is a congregation member who walks beside someone who is hurting due to a death, divorce, illness, family issues, etc. The Stephen Minister has been carefully selected and trained to serve in this role because of his or her caregiving gifts. He or she listens, cares, prays, supports, and encourages when meeting each week with his or her care receiver for as long as there is a need. These meetings may take place in person, by video or by phone. If you could benefit from the confidential, one-to-one care and support of a Stephen Minister or would like to obtain more information, please contact Martha Cusimano at 205-601-9124 or mmcusimano@centurytel.net.
