Announcements

We are collecting toilet paper for the Valley Mission through the end of May. Please place your donations in the Fellowship Hall.

If you missed last Sunday’s opportunity to donate to Virginia Mennonite Conference and Virginia Mennonite Missions you may still designate funds today by earmarking checks “VMM/VMC.”

On Sunday, May 26th, we will welcome the Bethel Mountain Band to our worship service. We will have a social time from 9:30-10:00 with the band playing its first set from 10:00-10:30. Our regular worship time will include some of the usual elements but the band will lead us in an extended time of worship.

A Pastoral Review Evaluation Form has been placed in your mailbox. The goal of the evaluation is to seek ways to improve the ministry of the congregation and to strengthen the effectiveness of the members through a variety of questions. Your responses will be shared with Kevin and a summary will be presented at a church council meeting. Please return your completed form to Dwight by June 9, 2013.

Please Prayer For:

  • Those who have been affected by the recent bombing in Boston, explosion in Texas, and other disasters around the world.

  • Bill Charles, BJ Rohr and Merton Greenleaf, our friends and family dealing with cancer and its treatment.

 

Acts 2:2, “Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven
and filled the whole house where they were sitting.”
