Please accept my humble thanksgiving for the

Your generosity and outpouring of love is
overwhelming. Each time I look at the truck, I

cherish. You are the true gift. Thank you for
gracing me with your friendship and your
encouragement, I am truly indebted to each of

MUSIC MINISTRY
There are some unsung heroes of our church-they
are our instrumentalists and our tech crew. These folks
work faithfully week in and week out to make possible
our times of worship and celebration. Thanks to Beth
Spence, Ryan Walker, Eric Welch, Nancy Welch, Jay
Phinney, George Bancroft and David Spence for your
willingness to give your musical talent to the Lord as
you play your instrument. And thanks also goes to
Layne Mims, Paul Spence, Reg Cranford, Sonny Tant
and Jonathan Raffini for using your expertise to
facilitate worship through the use of technology. Your
work behind the scenes is a blessing!
It may be that the Lord is prompting you to
consider using your ability in service to the Lord in
these areas. If you are interested, please contact the
Music and Worship Ministry office or Alan Schantz
personally. We are in need of people to play drums,
bass and rhythm guitar and to help fill in operating the
sound system, computer for presentation and the
broadcast switcher. (We will train you)
June 2-6 ~ 6-9 pm nightly
ACTS 1:8 OPPORTUNITIES
FROM THE PASTOR
Significant opportunities await each of us this
month to encounter the living Lord. Two scripture
studies will begin during June. Throughout the
summer, we will focus on the beautiful words of
1 Corinthians 13 during the morning worship
services. “Choose Love” will direct us to the
unfailing love of Christ which is to be replicated in
each of us as the children of God. An extended verse
-by-verse study of the Gospel of Mark will kick-off
on Wednesday, June 12. These times in the Word of
God are not intended to replace your daily time in
the Scriptures, but to enhance your walk with the
Lord as we corporately open our hearts and minds
to our redeemer.
Vacation Bible School is Sunday, June 2,
through Thursday, June 6, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
and ending at 9:00 p.m. each night. Many children
from our church and our community will be gath-
ered to hear of God’s love for them in Jesus Christ.
You are needed to serve these children through age-
group classes, music, refreshments, recreation,
welcome center, registration, security, crafts,
prayer, and a host of other responsibilities. Please
contact Jodi Mims to let her know of your part in
loving these children and enabling them to love
Christ.
On Saturday night, June 15, our Engage
Community Outreach will host a “Movie on the
Lawn” for our community. We need you to be
present to interact with the families who attend as
well as help with the concessions and games. More
information will be provided. We will also engage
our community on Saturday, June 29, by providing
trash services for bulk items. As families bring their
unused items, we will seek to build relationships
with them. Again, more information will be
provided.
Pray for our Vermont Mission Team which will
be partnering with Bill and Jan Smith and the New
Creation Fellowship of Chelsea, Vermont. These
“transplanted Texans” are taking the gospel of
Christ to people who live in an area which is
overwhelmingly unreached with the gospel. For
information on how to specifically pray for our
team, please contact Alan Schantz.
FROM THE PASTOR, CONT’D
“For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.”

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT—We need your help!
June 15, Saturday—Movies on the Lawn: To engage our
community around us, we will be showing a movie on our
north lawn. Before the movie, at 8 p.m., we will have snacks
and games for the neighbors who will come. You are needed to
serve snacks, assist with games, and above all, to have
conversations with and love on our neighbors.
June 29, Saturday—Neighborhood Trash Day. On this day, a
huge trash bin will be located on our parking lot and made
available for the surrounding neighbors to dump trash. We need
volunteers throughout the day to greet people as they bring
their trash, give out free waters, and build relationships.
