I would like to express my gratitude to
my church family. I appreciate all the
food that was given at the passing of
my brother. It was a great help. The
plant was beautiful and will be a fond
remembrance to my brother. Thanks for all your love and prayers at the deaths of my brother and sister.
With all my love, Terri

As the school year comes to an end (Yay!) I want to remind
you that I would love to see your kids on Wednesday nights!
The more kids I have, the more fun we can have learning about
Jesus and what He wants for our lives. I realize summer means
vacation and fun, but if you can spare a Wednesday evening I
would love to hang out with your kids!
Warmest regards,
TEAM KIDS meet Wednesdays

By the time you receive this newsletter, Jordan and his dad
should be in New York City unloading the U-Haul. Becky,
her mom and Maria will be flying there on June 8.
Below is an excerpt from their May letter. Please see the
bulletin board in the foyer to read the letter in its entirety.
“While in transition in Brooklyn, we will be shadowing a
church planter who is working in a neighborhood that is
nearby the “David Dean House”. We hope to learn from this
new mentor some techniques and strategies that we could implement in the Bronx. We will be focusing our learning on
how to gather people from different ethnicities and backgrounds. Please join us in praying that God would use this
church planter to mentor us to know what the next steps
should be in planting a multicultural church.”
