This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4: 10-11. NIV

Art Camp - We are hosting an Art Camp with Redeemer at Christ’s Workshop on Tuesday-Thursday, June 30th - July 2nd, from 9:00 am -11:00 am. This class is for children finishing 3rd-5th grade. The cost is $20. Registration is limited. The lessons will be mobiles, pastels, acrylic painting, and t-shirts. Pray that this will reach out to our neighborhood. Invite families you know. Contact Jordan to sign up. Youth are invited to volunteer.
Use of Pew Envelopes: If you use an envelope from the back of the pew for your offering, please be sure to print your name on the envelope so that it can be properly recorded.
FOOD DRIVE: Please notice our food barrel in the narthex. Each week as you prepare to come feed upon the bounty of God’s word remember that there are many struggling to put food on their tables. As you are able and blessed by God, please bring along to worship a non-perishable food item and place it into the barrel. This food is given to one of the food banks for distribution. Through this simple regular practice we can do much to help those in their time of need. “For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat ...” Jesus.
Remember to keep supporting the youth group through the use of the Randall's Remarkable Card. Our identification number is #4162.
