The audio version is also available here. Next Week...
Pamela McCorry from Union Congregational Church will be preaching about "The Mysterious Encounter" from John 3. | |

Community Dinner
 Plans for our weekly community meal are going strong and your support has been overwhelming! We have to go through the process of being licensed by the county for food service and then we will be ready to go!
Thank you all so much for your financial support and your willingness to serve.
We are still looking for a few good women and men to help out on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. We have two organized, jazzed leaders for this undertaking, Sue Cone and Susannah Amygdlatsis, so you can be sure your valuable time will be well-utilized. If you have already signed up to help, you should be hearing from them soon!
..(we know you do, we have our ways) who will benefit from
something mentioned in this newsletter. Show them a little love and
forward it to them!
If a friend forwarded this email to you, first of all, thank them! Then subscribe for yourself at our website.
