Kids Connexion will start back in the fall

Joyful Noise Choir Practice - 5:15pm-6:00pm

[Last] Adult Bible Study (masks required) - 5:15pm-6:45pm

Youth Connexion - 5:30pm-7:00pm

 
    This Sunday is Mother's Day, so we will honor all the women in our lives who have been mothers to us. We will have a special treat with special music by the Mefford girls in the 8:45am service and the Kids Choir and Women's Choir singing a special song together in our 10:50 worship service. We will also focus on Jesus' fourth Beatitude, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." We'd love for you to join us!

     Here is our schedule:

8:45am - Early Worship Service (Masks Required)
 
9:45am - Sunday School (for all ages)

10:50am - Late Worship Service (Masks Optional) and Live Stream Online 
(Nursery is available.)


     If you choose to worship from home on Sunday morning, you'll be able to connect with us as we live stream from this YouTube link beginning at 10:50am. You can also use that same link to watch it later.  
     By the way, you can find all of our live worship services and previously recorded videos on our church's YouTube channel.

     This Wednesday (May 5) 5:15pm (masks required): Week 12 "The New Covenant" - the last lesson!

 
     Meet at the Chamber office at 8:00am on Saturday, May 8. Felisha will have trash bags, basic gardening tools, and refreshments for those participating.

Giving in Gratitude to God
     Here are three ways you can give: 

1. You can give by mailing your check to the church (301 E. Grand). 

2. You can ask your bank to give directly to the church from your checking account. Call Sandi for guidance if you would like help getting that done. Many of our members have found this to be a convenient way to give.

     Remember to contact Wendy Howard if you need a delivery! Her number is (580) 305-1066, and you can call between 4:00pm-8:00pm. 
     Shop local as much as you can, but when you need to use Amazon, please use this link: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/73-0626487.
