Here's hoping everyone had a Happy Mother's Day yesterday!  I was helping with Children's Worship and didn't get to hear Patrick's sermon...so no notes this week!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!  We've filled many needs in the community distributing food and are in need to help restock the pantry.  If you would like to donate, we are totally out of cereal, soup of all kinds, crackers, canned meats/vegetables/fruit, peanut butter/jelly and spaghetti noodles/sauce, cornbread mix, toothbrushes/toothpaste, deodorant and shampoo!  Any donation is appreciated!

LADIES BIBLE CLASS:  This Wednesday (5/11) will be the last ladies class for this season.  There will be a luncheon at Marolyn Woodall's house immediately following class.

WEDDING SHOWER:  There will be a shower honoring D'Lynn Gage and her soon to be husband, Philip Bueno, on May 15th from 1:30pm to 3pm.. Selections at Belks, Carriage House and JCPenny.

CAN YOU HELP?  We will be hosting a Foster Family Appreciation/Fun Day at our building on Saturday, 5/21 from 10am-2pm.. Most of the planning will be done by CPS, but they need help running the different activities that are planned, and we can help with set up and clean up. They are planning to have things like bounce houses, ball pits, face painting, carnival games, etc.We need to go ahead and get a count of how many people will be able to help, and CPS requires that anyone over the age of 14 will need to fill out a volunteer application and have a background check completed. (Our younger kids are welcome to come help as long as we monitor them). If you are interested in helping that day, volunteer forms will be available in the church office for you to fill out. We need the paperwork turned in by 5/10 so there will be time to get the background checks completed before the event. We hope to have a good turnout to show love and appreciation to these families that are helping kids in need. Please let Rachel Spencer know if you are planning to be there.

IGLESIA de CRISTO:  We will be having an Open House and Building Dedication with our Hispanic brethren on May 22nd from 5pm to 7pm. We will gather and praise God in how He has blessed this congregation. Refreshments will be served. There will be no evening service at our building. 

SENIOR SUNDAY:  We will be honoring our 2016 graduates and their families with breakfast before class on May 29th. If you would be willing to make a donation toward food or help serve, please see Carol Anderson. 

5th SUNDAY:  Will be Sunday, May 29th.  Please make plans to stay and enjoy fellowship and devotional time.  We're going to have hamburgers from Burgerland!  Sign up at the Welcome Center as to how many in your family plan to eat, so we have a head count for the meal.  Cost will be $6/per plate.  There will also be a sign-up sheet for anyone willing to make a dessert to share.
