Welcome to Worship!

Let's join our hearts together ...

Encounter Christ

Experience Christ

Enjoy Christ

Exalt Christ

and Extend Christ’s Kingdom

For in Him we live and move and have our being...

(Acts 17:28)

Last week, the message focused on the fact that we

are Christ's Church and serve Him with our tithes, our talents and our touch.

Today, we will consider how

The Word of God

and

The Work of God

Go Together!

They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God.

(Haggai 1:14)

2014 Graduates

If you are graduating from either high school or college this spring or if you just graduated last

December, please be sure to write your name on the Graduates list on the church office bulletin

board. We are planning our graduation banquet for Sunday, June 1st. Please watch for more

details as the date approaches!

Note from the Carsons

Clarence & Lois Carson asked that we let their church family know that they appreciate the ways that you continue to show your love

and concern for them. They wanted you to know that they love you as well and miss being here with you!

Have you checked out our Church Community Bulletin Board? This board is located across from the library and features two

sections, “Can you use any of these things?” and “Can you meet any of these needs?” Our church family is welcome to use this

board to ask for or offer items and services that others may have or want. If you would like to post something on our bulletin board,

please make a sign that includes your contact info and turn it into the church office. All items are subject to board approval and will

be posted for a limited time. Thank you!

Volunteer Needed!

A member of our church family living in Uniontown is in need of a ride to the church

on Sunday mornings for worship service. Would you be interested in providing

transportation to Cherry Tree Alliance for this individual? If so, please contact Andrea in the

church office at 724-437-6850. Thank you for your consideration of this need.
