Adult Fellowship Group – Room 208, 11:15 a.m. Sundays
The Adult Fellowship Group will begin a new study, “
When Christians Get It Wrong” by Adam Hamilton on June 7th. In this 6-part weekly series, we will explore how following Jesus can be more about open doors than locked fences, more about serving people than judging them, more about joyful living than angry fighting. Please join with us on this journey. For more information, contact Hu Shaffer <huberts@aol.com> or just show up in person.

A need has been brought to us from Dr. Denise Young that the Doula she is working with is assisting a family, who is raising the children of a deceased mother. They need clothes for the children. The sizes needed for 2 boys are 2 T & 3 T; and a girl size 10-12. They are not asking for new clothing; serviceable used clothing will be fine. If you would like to help, please bring the clothing in a bag marked “Dr. Young” Thank you in advance. We will get it delivered ASAP.
