May 31, 2026CHURCH NEWS:
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD:
We are looking for:
Dish Towels (our present stock is very low) Note request change
Boy’s Socks – all sizes
Nail Clippers (our present stock is very low)
As always, thank you so much for your donations!!!! Just an FYI - The pharmaceutical pill bottles we have used in the
past will no longer be needed. We are looking for bed sheets, cotton or flannel to be used as fabric for our projects.
Bible Study on Genesis: All too often when we look at disobedience, we look at the Lots of the world. Yet what we, as Christians, ought to do and what we actually do are often two entirely different things. That was true for Abraham, as well. Join us Monday morning as we see Abraham choose personal safety over obedience to God. Again.
Graduation Sunday: will be next Sunday, June 7th. The write-ups and pictures due date was Sunday, May 24th. I will accept the info yet today. If not received today, can’t guarantee your graduate’s info will be included in the booklet. The form to fill out is on the back table in the Narthex. -Carole
