ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Way of Love: Practices for a Jesus-Centered Life – This week’s word is TURN: How can I, everyday, like a flower turning toward the sun turn my life toward God’s love in Jesus?
Healing Prayer Ministry Today – Members of the Healing Prayer Ministry will be near the baptismal font to offer brief prayers of healing during communion. Please feel free to go there after receiving communion to request prayers for yourself or on behalf of others. All prayer requests will be kept confidential.
Church School - Next week in church school (May 12) we will have our ice cream party! The kids have been looking forward to this so please be sure to join us if you can. It should be a lot of fun and they earned it!
Youth Group - Our next youth group meeting will be on Sunday, 5/19, from 3-4:30. We will meet on the third floor of the church. This will be our final meeting of the year so you won’t want to miss it!
Adult Forum: Exploring Paul’s Letter to the Romans – We’re exploring Paul’s Letter to the Romans, using some of the approaches we’ve been discussing this winter. We hope to better understand the letter by learning about the context in which it was written, the tensions that might have existed both for Paul and for the people of Rome at the time, and the larger issues that Paul was seeking to address. This approach will allow us to consider the various ways the message of Romans might be understood and applied in our lives today. The Forum meets on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. in Wilkinson Hall, and all are welcome. (Note: No class Sunday, May 26) If you have any questions, please contact Amy Foster (afoster@choate.edu or 203-675-4657).
Troop 4 Pancake Breakfast is TODAY! – 7:30 - 10:00 am in Wilkinson Hall. $6 per person. $5 for senior citizens and Cub Scouts in uniform.
Coffee Hour for May and June! Making coffee is really easy -- and you don’t have to bake -- it doesn’t have to be fancy – just a few goodies for people to enjoy while they visit with friends. Please sign up for a Sunday – maybe get another person to team up with you. The sign-up sheet for hosting coffee hour during May and June is posted on the easel at the back of the church. If you need help with setting up or making coffee, please contact Sharon Rogalski, George Richardson or George Swenson. And remember, we have a small fund to help defray the cost of goodies. Please see Jennifer in the office.
