Loving God, Serving Others
Rummage Sale Greetings, Folks!
This is the weekend—the huge, and I mean huge (Yuge!!), rummage sale erupts at CCC today and tomorrow from 9 to 4. Wow: clothes, books, electronics, toys, sporting goods, decor, furniture… whew! Check it out. All proceeds support those kids going to Awana camp in August.
I talked to Pastor Pascual at our sister church in Mexico this week. His truck is running well and being used for hauling bikes for their biking outreach, food from the store to the church and tables and chairs when they meet remotely. His van is repaired. They are having a baptism this weekend. The church is growing! Pascual wanted me to pass on ‘Thanks’ to you all for praying and giving. Gabi has some physical issues… and someone climbed up on the roof and ripped off the air conditioner twice (for the wires, I think?). Keep praying, saints. But praise God for growth and stability.
Some of you may be Riverside School District grads. If so, you may have had a music class from Jesse Wittrock. He’s doing his final, pre-retirement concert (after 40 years!) on May 30 at 6:30 at the High School. It’s a surprise, so don’t tip him off. His wife would love to see as many former students as possible. Refreshments will be served in the commons after the concert.
Don’t forget the cookie sign up in the fellowship hall! Thanks to those stepping forward. There’s still spots to fill.
This Sunday after church there’s a security team meeting: grab a snack and head to the conference room off the main office. If you’re interested at all or have some questions, this is the meeting for you. See Doug.
This Sunday at 9am: Story Time and Ace are almost wrapped for the summer. May 26 is the last meeting until fall. The story on Count Von Zinzendorf is almost over, and Rick has got two more lessons for us. This Sunday he’ll teach on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This topic has brewed controversy in the past, but I think Rick is tackling it from a truly biblical perspective. Check it out.
In the service, we’ll have the usual suspects. Deb and I will be camping at our happy place, but Rick is in the saddle for the message this Sunday. He’s always good.
Enjoy the Sunday!
Pastor Rob
