SATURDAY MORNING BOOK CLUB Saturday, June 25, 10:15 a.m., Rm. 110
Join the book club in June’s discussion of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have missplaced the Anti-christ. Read Ahead—the book for July is: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
This summer, we will take a closer look at the “I Am” sayings of Jesus. A church-wide study entitled “The God I Am” will be held on Sundays beginning July 3 and continuing through August 14. Classes will be taught by Pastor Larry Gilbert and Angie Baughman at the DeSoto site, starting at 5:00 pm. There will be an $8 book charge. Child care will be available upon request.
Please mark the “The God I Am study” box on the Registration and Attendance sheet if you plan
to participate in this study.
New Church-Wide Study
From Disney-Pixar comes "Up," a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to
the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic eight-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell.
Join us for Friday Night at the Movies!
June 24 at 7:30 pm Come out for this summer fellowship ministry event for the entire church family. Enjoy a family-oriented movie and concession stand with popcorn, candy, soft drinks and water. Please bring lawn chairs. We will sit in the pavilion area and the movie will begin at 8 pm. Please sign up on the Registration and Attendance sheet so we know how many people to expect. Come enjoy a night just like the old drive-in movies!
Wedding Anniversary Celebration!
Sunday, June 26 at both worship services
Our anniversary celebration will recognize couples
who have reached anniversary milestones. Come help us celebrate
the example they set for all of us to stay committed through the
ups and downs, and to love each other as Christ loves us.
Caring for Kids: Sundays in July
During July, we ask you to show your support for the schools and organizations that assist our community children with basic needs. This year we are collecting:
Cash or Walmart gift cards Backpacks School supplies New or gently-used children’s books Chicken or beef ramen noodles
Children will be collecting the items from our congregation during the Children's Moments time in worship services throughout July.
