Don’t forget – the worship committee is looking for people to volunteer to plan/preside and speak for the services for the year. The schedule is now located on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall. Find a theme that speaks to you and sign up on the sheets.
Arizona Mission Center is now accepting applications for Summer Youth Ministry Assistants. Click here for more information: http://tinyurl.com/znpvgt9.
Blessing bags supplies are in need. Please see the bulletin board for items that are needed for the next round of bags. Find something you want to get? Take the tag, purchase it, and bring it to church and drop in the big green bucket under the bulletin board. Don’t have time or desire to shop? You can give Heather the money and what you want to get, and she’ll do the shopping for you.
There are a couple of new columns on our worship schedule. Want to provide special ministry (music, dance, poetry), sign up in the “Special Music†column. Able and willing to serve communion? Sign up in the “Server†column. I’d like to see servers (at least 4 each communion) signed up for the rest of the year and at least 2-3 Special music opportunities each month.
Saturday, May 6, 2017, 10am-4:30 pm@ TBW – Priesthood and Discipleship Formation Day Theme: Cultivating the Soil. Guest Ministry: Apostle Ron Harmon and Field Support Minister Bill McFarlin. Plan on spending the day with fellow disciples as we explore what it means to cultivate the soil for mission in today’s context. We will share together in worship, learning, and fellowship as a way to grow in our discipleship. Join us for the day. This is a BYOLunch event. Light snacks will be provided.
Sunday, May 7, after services – Amy R. is celebrating her 50th Birthday and would like to share a meal with you – the only gifts she wants is your fellowship. She says your presence is the best (and only) present she could hope to receive. We will have a separate room so it will be easy to visit while we eat. Hope you can join us!! Join her and others at Abuelo’s Restaurant located at 16092 North Arrowhead Fountains Center Dr. in Peoria (Arrowhead Fountains Center near the Harkin’s Theater).
