WELCOME TO GUESTS! - We are so glad to have you with us! If you have needs or questions, reach out to an usher or Pastor, or use the contact info on the back of the bulletin. We’d love to hear from you! Turn in your guest card to an usher to receive a little token of our friendship.
SPECIAL WELCOME TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN - We have kids’ bulletins and activity bags— just ask an usher! If you need to leave your seat for a moment, we have a nursery with livestream down the hall; so you can still be involved with the service. Changing tables are in the women’s restroom.

DO YOU LOVE CHILDREN - and want them to grow in their love for Jesus? Please consider being a Sunday School teacher for next September. No experience is necessary and any age (high school and older) is most welcome. You will be paired with another teacher so teaching will not be every Sunday. Please contact Pastor Tinetti or Priscilla Newton (in person or email: prisnewton@gmail.com), if the Lord is nudging you to this ministry.
NEIGHBORLY CAFE - meets every Tuesday and Friday, from 9:30 ’til Noon. A couple of volunteers are needed to help Kent with this ministry. There is always free coffee, cookies, and conversation, of course!
MAY PANTRY FOCUS: SPRING INTO ABUNDANCE - Our Little Free Pantry is needy. This month, bring in some items that will help our neighbors start spring abundantly! Canned proteins, peanut butter, stew, veggies, and any non-perishables can be placed in the Community Corner basket or in the kitchen LFP cupboards. Thank-you!
