WEEK OF MAY 5 2010

Church Family and Friends

Summer is almost here and with it comes many opportunities for you and

your family These opportunities are designed to enhance the fellowship of

our church family equip each participant to walk more closely with the

Lord and encourage others who may not have a church home to come and be a part of the

family of faith Allow me to share more about just a few of those opportunities

To begin with I hope you will join us on Sunday evening May 23 at 6 PM in the sanctuary

for First Joy Along with a few items of business we will focus on two primary points of

interest The first will be our ministry to preschool and children The second focal point will

be the new members the Lord has brought to our fellowship during the past twelve months

We will recognize these folks and lay hands on them in prayer

Next on June 2 at 6 PM we will enjoy a great time of food and fellowship at Lake Cooley

This is always a great time Therersquos a playground for the kids and a covered area for the

adults to sit and enjoy one another Bring your lawn chairs and your appetite

Thirdly June 12 we have a special Roundtable for Parents Parents with children ages

preschool - rising sixth graders are encouraged to come and join the discussion This

positive interaction and information sharing will provide great direction for our planning

Our time will be brief 10 AMmdashNoon but very well spent Call the office or email us and let

us know if you plan to attend and need child care Call 439-8721 or email Allison

allisonfirstlymanorg

Finally beginning Wednesday June 16 we will begin Crazy Love This will be a study for

students and adults in the fellowship hall at 6 PM Crazy Love will challenge the status quo

of our spiritual life It will deal with the issue of complacency vs passionate and authentic

faith This study will knock your socks off

What an awesome summer we have to look forward to Be sure to go online to

wwwfirstlymanorg and find out more Irsquom praying now for God to show off in an

extraordinary way How about you

I love you
