The postponed Society Meeting has been scheduled for Sunday, August 8, at 6:00 PM. This is our annual meeting to approve the Nominating Committee's proposed ballot of faculty and staff and to elect members into vacant positions.
While we had intended to have some work and cleaning done this morning, it appears the rain has other plans.
So we have rescheduled for two weeks from today: June 15. Adjust your calendars and we'll see you then.
And stay dry. =)
Today will be a special Morning Worship as we not only have a handful of new members to receive, but also the Carlisle family will be having their new baby dedicated!
Come and join us as we celebrate these special occasions.
From David B:
Pray for peace, guidance, and strength for my friend "CF" as he has encountered a critical crisis point in his life and is not dealing well with it.
Kelsey & Barry's new daughter, Aurora, was born yesterday afternoon!
This last Saturday our fifth grade Bible Quizzers took their first ever trip to compete. Being a Regional Quiz Meet at the Free Methodist Church in Vincennes, IN, this competition included not only churches from our own Wabash Conference, but also churches from other nearby conferences as well. Our boys were in a division that included six other teams - also all new quizzers.
Having only lost two rounds all day our boys came out in third place in their division! (And, just as a side note, first among the Wabash Conference teams in their division!) ;)
Congratulations to Blake Henson, Joel Henson, Samuel Henson, & Tyler Gray on a great start to their quizzing careers. We might also say congratulations to the proud coaches, Annita Henson & David Blaize; to the chauffeurs & parents, Jackie Gray & Doug Henson; and to Betty Newton, who showed up to support the team through their first few rounds. (Always good to have a fan!)
All four boys have expressed interest in quizzing next year. Plus we have a handful of other teens who have expressed interest in joining them!
If you want to get a jumpstart (or would that be prejump?) on next year's material, we have it on good authority (Mark Scandrett) that we will be studying the book of Matthew, 1984 NIV edition.
If you don't already attend a church, consider joining us tomorrow for Easter! We will have a "Sunrise" service at 7:00 with music and a message. (Yes, we know that sunrise is actually earlier, but we didn't think Noelle could get the pastor up any earlier!)
Then at 8:00 we will fellowship together over breakfast provided by our Hospitality Committee. No worries there: they always come up with a tasty selection.
We will not have Sunday School, so our Morning Worship service will start a little earlier than usual: 10:00 to be exact. This year we will be presented with an Easter drama written by Noelle and directed by Dave and Winnie entitled "Now What?" I watched the dress rehearsal this morning and it is definitely worth coming to see.
Bring friends! Bring family! Join our family as we celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive!
Each week we have a different Wabash Conference church & Free Methodist Missionary listed in our bulletin for prayers. This week's ministries are:
Free Methodist Church of St. Francisville, IL - under Pastor Irwin & Marsha Bales
The Women's Lenten Breakfast this week (the 16th) will be at Otwell United Methodist Church. We are still unsure about the 23rd. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
Don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour tonight. If you forget, you will be extremely late for church!
