light, as he is in the

fellowship with one

all sin.” 1 John 1:7

Notes from Susie

Upcoming Events for Youth

Pastor’s Corner As you read this, another

school year is in its final

month. Summer is

approaching much too

fast! It’s amazing how fast

time moves, isn’t it? I can’t

believe it. It seems like

just yesterday we were

having our Christmas

service and before we

turned around, it was

Easter.

Now we are looking at

summer, which will bring

camps, special events, and

our annual Vacation Bible

School.

As we wrap up this

‘season’ of our lives and

prepare for the next, let

us give thanks to God for

the blessings we’ve

experienced. Even in

challenges and struggles,

we have much to be

thankful for.

Pray in the months ahead,

and look for ways to grow

spiritually and to serve

God.

See you Sunday!

-Derik

Thank you for all who

donated items for the

youth yard sale. All of your

with sound techs and

projection. I so appreciate

each and every one of you.

I also really appreciate the

hard work done by Pam

Carter and the volunteers

she had ready to lead us in

worship on Good Friday. I

am sorry we did not

experience that service

together, but I look

forward to the ways God

will use those efforts next

year.

Looking forward….Loyalty

Day will be here very soon,

and I would like to invite

former choir members to

join us in the music

presented that day.

Soli Deo Gloria! Glory to God

alone!

-Susie

I want to begin my notes

with a huge THANK YOU

t o e v e r y o n e w h o

participated in the Easter

presentation, Amazing

Grace—My Chains are

Gone. Each and every

choir member, soloist,

instrumentalist, and

narrator did a super job.

Some of the hardest work

happens behind the scenes
