Shop with Scrip and Support our Youth Ministries!
Did you know that every time you use Scrip our church youth benefit? in 2018, over $3,000 was given towards the youth mission trip, all because of YOU using Scrip! Already this year, Scrip is contributing $10 gift cards to our 30 College "We Care" packages!
Let's make 2019 the year of our biggest Scrip success story for our youth! Contact Brenda Saunders for special Scrip requests, or pick up Scrip before every church service!
The last day for Sunday School will be May 5th. We will resume again in September, after Labor Day -
be watching for the exact start date in future Lamplighters.
Mark your calendars for Vacation Bible School to be held July 15th-19th - “In the Wild: Amazing Encounters with Jesus” - from 5:30 to 8:00 P.M. each day. Watch for registration information com-ing soon in the weekend announcements and the June Lamplighter.
Upcoming Celebrations...
Senior Recognition Sunday will be on May 12th
at the 8:00 A.M.
service, followed by a reception to honor our graduating seniors.
Confirmation Sunday will be on June 9th
at the 9:00 A.M. service.
A reception will be held to help them celebrate following the service.
SAVE THE DATE for a “Daughter of the King Tea Party”!
The last weekend in June, we hope to host a Mother & Daughter (and/or
Grandmother, etc.) Tea Party that focuses on how special we are to our Heav-
enly Father! More details to follow in June, but please email lisaguetz-
[email protected] if you are interested in this type of event and how many might
attend so that we can begin the planning process! This event
is for any age and will have a craft and story time for children!
Also, if you are willing to help with this event please email
Lisa! We would be so grateful for helpers with desserts, tea sandwiches,
and drinks, and helpers during the event! See Tanya Burnett, Pam Burke, or
Lisa Guetzko with questions. Thank you from your Evangelism Team!

Thank you for the fountain in honor of
my dad, Dennis Reaman. It’s beautiful! My dad was an amazing man who will be dearly missed! Thank you for all the love and support during this time.

Stewardship Update
Church Attendance...
Why do we even bother to go to church? I hope
it is because you are a Christian and the
church is important to you in many ways. We
get baptized, we went to Sunday School as a
youth, we pray, we hear God's word, we take
communion...you know your reasons.
God only asks for about a couple of hours out
of your day once a week. Plus, we offer a Sat-
urday service and two services on Sunday to
try and fit your schedule. So why for many do
we not attend every Sunday? Because we
have to be honest with ourselves and admit
that God is not a priority in our lives.
Hebrews 10:24-25 says "and let us consider
how we may spur one another on toward love
and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting
together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another and all the
more as you see the Day approaching". We
say we want to have more faith: Romans 10:17
- "So faith comes from what is heard, and what
is heard comes by the
preaching of Christ." How
will you hear pastor's ser-
mon if you are not here
every worship service to
build your faith?
We say we want Christ in our lives. Act 2:42 -
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles’
teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of
bread and the prayers". We serve communion
every week. How is that for having Christ in
your lives? Let's start to make God and his
Church a priority every week in our lives today.
Sincerely,
Larry Richmond
Stewardship Chair
The “Mission of the Month” for May will go to

Thank You!
Thank you so much for your very, very gener-
ous donation to our Christians Concerned hy-
giene program. The expense of many of these
items is a hardship for our senior citizens, dis-
abled, and low income families. These items
are very much appreciated by those we serve.
Thank you again for helping us help others!
- Deb Hamblin, Operation New View
