Happy May Day! (Sunday's in May)

Since it's the first day of May, let me give you guys a run-down of what you can expect to see this month at church!

May 3 - We will be having a baptism for one of our boys who has made a profession of faith; he will be baptized by his grandfather! We will be observing the Lord's Supper, and in light of Christ's sacrifice for us, we will consider whether or not we are offering Him something that costs us nothing. As part of our worship service, there will be a mini-drama titled "Checkbook Mysteries" that will crack us up, while driving home an important truth.

May 10 - Mother's Day! We will honor all mothers present, with special gifts for the oldest mother, newest mother, and three others randomly selected.

May 17 - 2nd Annual Day of Prayer - This day will be a turning point for our church. God has brought us through an exciting year together, and we have seen Him do some amazing things - all as a result of prayer. We will have a special time of prayer that morning at 8. There will not be a breakfast, as I inadvertently left in the calendar section of the newsletter from last year. In the worship service, we will be introducing some blended worship that will help us worship the Lord in a broader way in the coming months. People can get excited about worshiping Christ! Stay tuned to your newsletter and the church website about some exciting outdoor events for that night in place of our evening service.

May 24 - On this Memorial Day Sunday, we will be honoring our troops. We are asking our people who have served or who have family that has served in the military to help us out with pictures for a special slideshow this day.

May 31 - Can you believe it? We get an extra Sunday this month! Plans are coming together for a wonderful day of worship in God's house!

In a season where it is easy to stay over on vacation and miss a worship service and to drop off in regularity of church attendance, let me encourage each of you to be faithful to the house of God throughout this exciting month!

Pastor Billy
