On Sunday, May 17, we will hold our Annual Meeting during
the Sunday School hour. At that time there will be a vote
taken on the budget.
Reminder to Members: To ensure that your membership status remains active and that you are able to take part in voting on the important issues, please be sure to register your attendance on a Welcome
Card at least one Sunday each month.
The church bylaws state that membership status changes to inactive if
attendance is not registered for six consecutive months. Inactive members may not vote, may not hold office, and shall not be counted in the
roll for the sake of establishing a quorum. Members who have not registered attendance for a period of twelve consecutive
months will be dropped from the membership roll.

“Magic for Missions” Show
Our own Johnny Ace Palmer, world-renowned magician, will be presenting two magic shows on
Saturday, May 9, at 4 pm and 7 pm. All proceeds will go to help the High School missions team
whose vision this summer is to put on a Vacation Bible School and do construction work in the
Navajo Nation. The tickets are on sale for $10 per adult and $5 per child.
During intermission at each show there will be snacks and drinks , proceeds also going to the fund
raiser.
Bakers are needed to provide these treats and they need your help. They are looking for
volunteers to bake treats or donate candy to be offered for the snacks.
If you can help, please sign up with Katie Makley or Chloe Daniels. For more information contact

Mission Statement.
Together, we are glorifying God as we
Love Him,
Love one another, and
Live to show the world the way of Jesus.
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid
down his life for us. And, we ought to lay down our
lives for our brothers.” 1 John 3:16
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes
from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God
and knows God.” 1 John 4:7
May we experience God’s love today!
