*Great Thanks - What a wonderful welcome to the Holy Spirit and kick-off to our 125th year in ministry we had last week! Tremendous thanks goes to the Anniversary Task Force (Yvonne, Helena, Elsie, Leo, Gloria G., Richard, Adrienne, Becky, Steve) as well as the many, many whose hands and efforts made everything come together. Together, let's look ahead to Street Fest!
*Sending Donnie & Holly Off - We give thanks for the last 3 years of community shared with Donnie and Holly and bless them with God's continued care and direction as they return to Indiana on June 15th. Please share a time of fellowship with them following worship.
*Learning Together! - As we begin the Season after Pentecost, the Adult Sunday School will return to the book An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor. We studied parts of this book during Lent. We’ll discuss 4 more chapters in June with the help of these leaders :
June 3rd, Ch. 3 - The Practice of Wearing Skin - Becky & Al
June 10th, Ch. 8 - The Practice of Saying No - Laura & Adrienne
June 17th, Ch. 5 - The Practice of Getting Lost - Aeri & Ben
June 24th, Ch. 7 - The Practice of Living with Purpose - Ed & Arlene
There are still copies of the book available. If you’d like a copy, please see Charlie.
*LMUMC Food Pantry Workday - Saturday, June 9th, 9:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. You can be a part of witnessing to God's love through your actions to share food and hospitality.
*Annual Conference Special Offering - The UMC has an ambitious goal: to end unnecessary suffering and death from malaria in Africa by 2015. The Cal-Nev Annual Conference is committed to this goal and therefore has designed the 2012 Annual Conference Offering to go to Imagine No Malaria. We’ll take this special offering next Sunday, June 10th.
*Adventures in Faith (AiF) & More - Last Wednesday, we held our 6th and final AiF chapel for the school year. Deep thanks for the dedicated and faithful work of Donna, Peggy, Becky, Richard, Adrienne, Jonathan, Theresa S., and others who made this possible. Next Sunday, June 10th, we'll hold a Family Orientation and Reception for Homework Club's summer program families at 2:30 p.m.. This is a time to extend hospitality by sharing your presence, bringing a snack (fruit and cookies only), and learning more about what will be happening in the
summer. Additionally, Summer AiF will kick off on Tuesday, July 2nd, and continue every Tuesday and Thursday following. Would you be willing to pitch in to this unique opportunity to plant God's seeds? To learn more, connect with Emily or Donna.
*A Prayer for Silver & Grace - We received word on Wednesday morning that Silver and Grace had been denied visas a 2nd time. This is a great disappointment to us as well as to them. Let us continue to hold our common ministry before God and pray the Holy Spirit direct us in next steps. We share appreciations for the work of the Mission Exchange Task Force: Vince, Burt, Becky, Aeri, and Pastor Emily.
