On June 28 please welcome our Ghanaian brothers and sisters as they join us in worship. They are also very excited to be sharing some authentic African dishes with us at the pot luck immediately following worship.

Mustard Seed Project: One of the Mustard Seed projects going on this summer is the collection of children’s books for children ages 2-6. At the end of the summer the books will be given to Small Steps Nurturing Center, which has one campus in First Ward and another in Fifth Ward. The children in the Center will be encouraged to take the books home to keep. If you have books appropriate for ages 2-6 that you would like to donate, please contact Kay Greer.

Holiday Schedule: The Church offices will be open on Friday, July 3, and closed on Monday, July 6, in celebration of July 4.

Missionary Fund: The Session believes it is important to support our members who feel called to participate on mission trips. Therefore the Session has established a Missionary Fund to support members participating in mission trips other than the summer youth trip. If you would like to support this type of mission work, please note “Missionary Fund” on your contribution. These funds will be disbursed by the Session upon the recommendation of the Mission Ministry Team.

September 20 Event: A special musical program, “Your Kind of Music,” featuring 40 years of popular music by the Johnny Dyson Band in McPhail Hall has been scheduled for Sunday, September 20. Mark your calendar and plan to attend this great fun event!
