Wear Read for Pentecost Sunday!
Sunday, June 8
The day of Pentecost falls 50 days after Easter Sunday. On Pentecost, we remember the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the crowd in Jerusalem, and we also pray for the decent of the Spirit upon us. To mark the occassion, wear red to worship!
Can you help clean up a few things around the church?
We made a good dent in some projects around the church last weekend but we still have two things remaining! If you can help, simply come and do it on your own timetable! Be in touch with Kathy or Pastor Aleese if you’re interested in helping so we know things are covered.
- Finish cleaning windows – the inside of the windows need to be cleaned throughout the church except for the main office and Pastor’s office. The outside of the windows needs to be cleaned just in the fellowship area.
- Weeding, clean up outside – just as there’s perpetual yard work around our homes, there’s also consistent work to be done around the church building. Feel free to grab a pair of gloves and give a lil’ love to the beds, flowers, and landscaping around the church whenever you had some spare time!

Following in the Love of Jesus Bulletin Board
Summer often sends us in many directions, but that doesn’t mean we need to be disconnected from one another in faith! As you move through the summer, keep an eye out for opportunites to follow in the love of Jesus. Perhaps it’s acts of service; perhaps it’s volunteering for something through SOTC; or perhaps it’s nurturing your relationship the love of Christ within you. Whatever it is, take a picture, and add it to our growing collage of how together we are following the love of Jesus.
