Prayer & Coffee – Mondays mornings at 8:00 am

Morning Prayer Service by Dr. White – Wednesdays at 10:30 am
Dr. White will share a morning Bible study in the chapel. This will consist of the same message that he will deliver in the evening. If you are unable to attend at night, this will be great opportunity for you! Invite a friend to come with you. This will be a weekly service.

Father’s Day
Please note, we will not have an evening service next Sunday, June 21. Plan to spend time with your family on this special day.

Young at Heart News
Our July luncheon will be in the fellowship hall on Thursday, July 9. We will play Trash to Treasure Bingo, so please bring wrapped prizes.

First Steps for New Christians
This is a an 8-week class beginning on Sunday, June 14, at 9:30 am, if there is interest. This class will benefit not only New Christians, Rededicated, and Lost Individuals, but anyone else age 13 and up wanting to reconnect with the foundation of Christianity. All material will be provided. If interested, please sign up at the office window.

Patriotic Sunday
On Sunday, June 28 during the 10:30 am worship service, we will have a special patriotic service. This year is the 250th birthday of the United States of America, and we want to celebrate in grand style! We will have lots of patriotic music, pledges, and so much more. Dr. White will bring a special message as well. This will be your day to wear red, white, and blue as we thank God for His goodness on our great nation. Mark your calendar and invite everyone you know to come!

Diaper Drive
Carolina Pregnancy Center is a Christ-centered ministry that helps young couples in unplanned pregnancies. They are pro-life in every way! Let’s help them help others by collecting baby diapers. All sizes and quantities are needed. Bring them to the cross hall, and we will deliver them. The cutoff date is Sunday, July 5. Thank you for caring for the babies!

Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee will meet on Thursday, June 25, at 6:30 pm. Please plan to attend as we begin work on the new church year.

New Church year begins September 1st
If you have not already turned in a form for the Nominating Committee, please pick up one from the bulletin stations and fill it out. Forms are also available in your Sunday school class today. This is such an important help to the committee as they must have a response from each person listed on the form. So, please do not assume they know you want to continue serving in your position. If you do not turn in a form, you will receive a call. Thank you for your cooperation!

Volunteers Needed for Kings Kids and Nursery
If you can help with either of these ministries on a rotating basis, please see Natalie Moon, Regina Lowery or contact the church office. Volunteer to help our children learn more about God!
