Not everyone feels at home in church.
And these days, many of us are carrying questions without easy answers.
So we’re meeting somewhere different.
The Young Adults Ministry will be starting a Community Group which will meet on May 11TH in the Activities Center from 6-8PM. If you are interested in being part of this group, please contact Zach Mason.
Over the past several months, our Pastor of Children and Family Ministry, Shelley Woodruff, has poured so much care and energy into revamping our children’s ministry spaces. We are excited to announce the grand opening of our new nursery on Sunday, May 10th! The nursery will be available beginning with the Fresh Start service in Room E205, and we look forward to providing a safe, warm, and welcoming space for our youngest members.
Each month, Beth Withers, one of our library volunteers, shares the newest books that have been added to our church library this past month.

Sunday, May 17th is Graduation Sunday! This is a special Sunday where we take time to celebrate all the graduates within our community. If you or your child is graduating from high school, college, or any graduate or professional program, we would love to honor you. Please contact Zach Mason with the name of the graduate and their institution.
Our next Church Family Conference will be on May 17TH, following both services. If you are a church member, please be prepared to stay after service and hear updates on the church from our deacons.
You are invited to our New and Prospective Member Dinner on May 17th at 5:00 PM! If you have recently joined our church or have been visiting, we would love the opportunity to get to know you better in a relaxed atmosphere of food and fellowship. This will be a wonderful time to meet our pastors, connect with members of our staff and deacons, and build relationships with others in our church community. Kathryn Hartgrove, our Worship Arts Director, is an incredible chef and will be preparing a delectable feast! If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to Sarah Lewis and include your dietary restrictions. Children are welcome!
We look forward to spending the evening with you!
Our next Justice and Advocacy Prayer Night will be Tuesday May 19TH, from 6:00-7:30pm. This is a time to lift up prayer concerns for our community and our world. If you find yourself feeling troubled or overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world and often wonder, “What can I do?”—this prayer group is for you.
If you plan on attending, please register with Sarah Lewis.
