WELCOME TO WORSHIP: We are delighted you are here and have been praying for you. If this is your first visit, we are honored you chose to worship with us. If you are returning, welcome back! We invite you to leave contact information inside the friendship pads or at the welcome desk. All are welcome at Holy Communion and instructions regarding the meal are in the worship folder. Children are welcome in worship; we have books, children’s bulletins, and quiet bags located near the entrance. We have a nursery downstairs for those children under 5 where Ms. Carla provides loving consistent care. Restrooms are located in the sanctuary through the door directly opposite the entry-way. We pray this worship will renew and prepare you to go out into God’s world to love and serve. THE ALTAR FLOWERS TODAY are given by Bob and Donna Loges to the glory of God, in honor of our

four children and in memory of our parents.

THE ROSE ON THE ALTAR is in honor of the birth of Alina Krantz, daughter of Melissa and Eric Krantz, born on April 30, 2019 in Charlotte, N.C. The Krantz family look forward to joining the congregation when we next receive new members.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE the High School graduation of Andrew LaFollette, son of Joe and Robin; and the Confirmation of four middle school youth. They are: Tanner Axtman, son of Steve and Janet; Bailey Biggs, daughter of Ron and Kathy; Caroline Cochran, daughter of Kenneth and Carol; and Preston Hawley, son of Beth Hawley. Our congratulations and best wishes to each of them and to their families!
