Upcoming Events
Linda is on study leave from May 12 to May 18. Rev. Wes Jamison, the Ukirk campus minister, will preach in her absence. The choir will sing “O Love How Deep” to enhance the worship service.
The Adult Forum class will welcome Wes Jamison to speak to us about his leadership role in UKirk and what the group is up to now.
Next Sunday, May 25, the Adult Forum class will host a guest speaker, Brooke Gill, Senior Program Manager with the Alzheimer’s Association’s Central and Western Virginia Chapter, who will speak about companionship best practices for people living with progressive memory loss.
Please call the Officer on Call or the church office is there is a need in the congregation while Linda is not available. Bruce will be out of the office next week while he and Heidi travel to Florida for a grandson (and family) visit.

Special Music The choir starts its summer break on June 1. This is now the time to consider offering special music over the summer months. You don't have to do a solo - find a friend or family member to join you! It could be vocal or instrumental, using recorded or live accompaniment (Pat or Marya might be available to play). There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex waiting to have dates filled in. |

Lemonade on the Lawn With June comes a shift from coffee and donuts in the sanctuary to lemonade outside on the lawn. This requires setting out a table, putting out the lemonade and cups, and cleaning up. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for those who want to help with this fellowship event. |
