I hope you will all be joining us tomorrow, May 21st, for worship.  We will be blessed to have Aspen Baynes as our guest speaker tomorrow, and we are looking forward to hearing her sermon from a “younger person’s” point of view!  Joining Aspen will be Steve Hurd as our Worship Leader, Sandi Kossick and Beth Schabel who will lead us through Communion, and Jan Green who will be providing us with her beautiful organ music selections for the entire service!  (Sarah is on vacation)  Additionally . . . our “Special Music” segment will begin with Rick Painley enlightening us with a little information about the composer of a pre-selected hymn – one of the many that the congregation selected as their favorite.  This will be a NEW experience because YOU, THE CONGREGATION, will be lending your voices for this special selection!  We hope you will join us by lifting your voices up to the heavens! (We also welcome your feedback!)

A few reminders . . .
