Change your clocks + Our sacrifice

Change your clocks Saturday night. Daylights saving time begins this weekend. Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward one hour!

Wanted: Nursery helpers. Bethany Johns, our nursery coordinator, needs more ladies to be a part of the nursery rotation in the 11:00 am service. If 5 or more ladies can sign up that would be a help! Your daughters can also work if they are 13 or older. Hopefully, with more people, it will be once a month or less. Email Bethany to help.

Short-Term Mission Trip to Mexico
Are you interested in helping at an English language camp to bless students and their parents? Come help our missionaries to Mexico, Mike and Pam Richardson. Knowledge of Spanish is not necessary, but any craft/music/VBS experience is helpful. Cooking and cleaning help will also be needed. Trip dates are June 26-July 2. Contact Jon Garber at to learn more.

Our Sacrifice: Service
What kind of sacrifices please God? Pastor Jack shared from Hebrews 13:15-19 that faith will cultivate a desire to bring pleasure to God. Through Jesus, we can offer sacrifices of praise, doing good and sharing with fellow believers, submission and obedience to our church shepherd-leaders, and prayer for our shepherd-leaders. Listen to “Our Sacrifice: Service.”
