This Sunday, May 20, 2012, is Youth Sunday, which means the youth of our congregation will lead worship. It will be an exciting worship service not only because of what may or may not be said but because it will be an opportunity for our youth to share with us their spiritual growth. Please, be there to support and encourage them!
Our sanctuary is handicapped accessible. We have a staffed nursery for younger children. All people are welcome to share in communion.

Due to hard work and a great many donated hours by Glenna Tompkins, Dixie Smalley, and Lucie Chapman (three ladies whose praises we ought to sing because this really did take a lot more work and a lot more time that you would ever imagine!!) we now have a new church photo directory. This new directory will be a great help, especially for our newer members, in putting names and faces together. This directory will be distibuted shortly to all church members and participants. Be looking for it!
This will be the summer for democracy in the pulpit! All year you hear sermons drawn from the scriptures that I choose. This summer you will get to choose! I have broken these choices up into three catagories:
On June 3, 10, 17, and 24 we will hear sermons on the topics or scriptures chosen by the winners of our lottery. We will draw names out of the hat and the winner (must be present to win) will chose the topic or scripture for the following Sunday's sermon!
On July 8, 15, and 22 we will hear sermons on topics chosen by congregational vote. I am already starting to collect suggestions for topics to be included on the ballot. The top three will go on to become sermons.
On August 12, 19, and 26 I will preach on three books of the Bible which we don't often hear from. I will provide a list and you will get to choose which three books you want to learn more about.
This is the Summer of Democracy in the Pulpit. Don't miss it!
