Retreat – April 24 – 26
Pastor George would like to invite you to attend a retreat, “Making Peace” led by Jamie Norton. This weekend retreat is a powerful experience of God’s Love and Grace helping us to make peace with our past and equip us to live the full lives we are made for. He has attended this weekend retreat and led the 8-week follow-up group multiple times. It is wonderful for everyone who wants to feel the loving presence of Christ in their daily lives. It is especially helpful when there are things in your past that keep you from trusting Christ’s Love. Let Pastor George know if you are interested or have any questions. The retreat is April 24th – 26th in Mebane, NC. The cost $150 but scholarships are available.
Church Nursery Volunteers Needed
There is a sign-up list on the piano near the front of the Sanctuary. In case we have a family or visitors with children from birth to 4 years of age, we want to provide a setting for the younger children during church. We realize that there may be Sundays that no younger children are present, but we ask for volunteers so that the Deacons may direct the parents/grandparents/family to the availability of the nursery and point them in that direction. If you volunteer, please be in the nursery area around 10:45 AM and greet any families who may come. If no one arrives by about 11:10, please come into the Sanctuary and join the church service. One or two people may sign up per date. If you have questions, please contact Gayenell Gull or Barbara Pratt. Thanks for your help with this!
Nursery
For families with infants or young children, a nursery is available in the west education wing. The Deacons are available to provide additional information.
