Travis<br />
Minister of Education<br />
Our Ministry & Mission Fair is coming up this Sunday, <strong>April</strong> 28, in the Fellowship Hall. We will have<br />
displays representing many of our ministries under Worship, Grow and Serve, plus tables<br />
representing mission trip opportunities and our various committees / ministry teams. Come by Sunday<br />
morning between Sunday School and worship hours and there will be people available to answer<br />
questions. The fair will also be open Sunday afternoon from 4:45 – 6:00 p.m.<br />
CityFest CityFest is our Mission:SERVE project for May. We need volunteers to hand out bottled water and<br />
information from our booth on Saturday, May 4. Help is especially needed with<br />
set-up at 7:30 a.m. as we need to deliver the cases of water, tables, chairs, a tent and ice<br />
-chests to our spot on Main Street. Pick-ups would be helpful. Donations of bottled water<br />
can be brought to the Adult Ministry Office.<br />
John<br />
Minister to Senior Adults<br />
I am really enjoying this message series on<br />
service by our pastor. God is challenging us to practice<br />
what we hear in good preaching. I have noticed some<br />
areas that volunteers are needed for our church building.<br />
If you would like to serve please contact John Rodgers.<br />
The opportunities for service are parking lot painting,<br />
light duty cleaning, touch up interior painting, and light<br />
duty yard work. True ministry is saying here I am Lord,<br />
where can I serve You and Your <strong>Church</strong>. Every member<br />
counts, every member can contribute, where will we<br />
serve?<br />
Dave<br />
The Preschool Ministry would like to extend a<br />
warm welcome to Matt and Kristin Burns who will be<br />
serving as Preschool Sunday School Directors beginning<br />
in August. Matt and Kristin have served in many capacities<br />
within our church and are very excited to take on this<br />
new role in the fall. They are already working diligently<br />
on the new Fall schedule and enlistment of Preschool<br />
Sunday School Leaders. Please remember Matt and<br />
Kristin and the Preschool Ministry in your prayers as we<br />
prepare for the new Sunday School year.<br />
Blessings,<br />
