Family
Sunday, May 4
The 8:30 and 11:00 AM WORSHIP services in the Social Hall will revolve around Mark 10:15 “Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.”
Pastor Eileen will share the work of that Pulitzer Prize winning theologian, Dr. Seuss, with his artwork projected. We will all receive the kingdom as little children with Horton Hatches the Egg, Yertle the Turtle and other parables. Ascension Sunday will be celebrated by singing “Shout to the Lord” made popular by American Idol.
9:45- 10:45 AM Christian Education hour: Continental breakfast will be served in between the services. Three adult classes and an activity for children in the Creation Chapel will be offered.
