The following are the announcements for the week of June 16:

Summer Small Groups

We will have 3 short-term small groups that will be meeting over this summer. The study in Colossians will be continuing, and two new groups will be starting: Worship-Based Prayer (5 weeks, June 26-July 31, East), and Young Couples: The Meaning of Marriage (8 weeks, July 4-September 5, South). To sign up, use a welcome card or email the church.

Compassion Team – TODAY

Our compassion team will be meeting after the 11:00 service today to put food together for the Ottawa Mission. Meet downstairs.

Sunday School

Children’s Sunday School (during the 9:00 service) will be taking a summer break after next Sunday, June 23. Please plan your Sundays accordingly.

Church-Wide Picnic Lunch

In order to share some good old fashioned summer fun and church fellowship together (from both services!), we invite you to a picnic lunch at 12:30p.m. on July 14. This will take place at Springhurst Park, just down the road at the end of Evelyn Ave. Bring your picnic lunch for your family, a blanket, outdoor games/sports, sunscreen, and maybe even water balloons, and come on out!

Library News

There are a number of great new books in our library. However, with the prayer time being in the library between services, it may be harder to check books out. So be sure to peruse and take a book out either before the 9:00 service or after the 11:00!

Scent Request

Some in our church family have sensitivities to scents and chemicals. For the health and consideration of others, we’d like to ask everyone to please use unscented hygiene and cosmetic products on Sunday mornings. Thank you for your consideration.

Sermon Transcripts

If English is your second language and having a copy of the sermon would help you understand better, please let us know and we’ll get you a printed copy of the sermon.
