WEEKLY NEWS & REMINDERS:
THANK YOU to all who helped make Vacation Bible School a success! God brought so many children and youth through our doors and we were able to faithfully present the gospel message to them using the life of Esther. Thank you for all the hard work that went into setting it up as well as running. Thank you for those who donated food, prepared food, and especially for those who prayed. It was definitely a team project! If you didn’t get to see the closing program, please look on the church’s YouTube to see it. Praise God for all he did and the hearts he still desires to change. Who knows how God will fully use his truth–For such a time as this! We will be doing the same theme for VBS in Kentucky during our Mission Trip this July.
THANK YOU to all who participated in the Pavilion Raising this month, as well as contributed donations to the cause. We are so grateful of your financial contribution and those helped through physical labor to make this build happen! We can't wait to use it this summer!
PRECIOUS LIFE BOTTLE FUNDRAISER: The bottles were passed out on Sunday, May 10 (Mother's Day) and were to be returned when filled, or Sunday, June 21 (Father's Day). Place spare change, or any other monetary donation if you feel led, into the baby bottle. All donations will go towards hope and resources for mothers in need through Precious Life in Johnstown. Please turn them in by this Sunday if possible!
PRAYER REQUESTS: If you have any prayer requests, please contact Sharon Crissman at (814) 467-4324 where you can have someone pray with you and either put it on the prayer chain or let our other pastors know.
Women’s Fellowship Ladies meet the second Thursday of the month for lunch. Talk to Diane if you have any questions.
Fresh breakfast! Once a month the youth are endeavoring to cook a fresh breakfast for all who are interested. We plan to have eggs, freshly milled pancakes, bacon, toast, and more. We would love to have you join us before Sunday school to prep and cook! If you are interested in helping students make this from 8:00-9:00 or donate to the breakfast, please let Jason know!
Monthly Newsletters: If you have yet to receive a monthly church newsletter and wish to do so, please connect with Pastor Jason. July's newsletter can be found in the Narthex. We will be sure to start sending one to you if you let Pastor Jason know!
YOUNG ADULTS: Are you a young adult ... post high school to 30 something? This group meets every Thursday (or one Tuesday a month) at 6pm for dinner, brief devotion/prayer, and games, or craft! Some evenings they meet up at a restaurant, or go on a fun adventure in town! Connect with Jaymie or Jeanna for details for the next meeting.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY: During the school year we gather together on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:45 p.m. for a Bible story, dinner, a game, recreation activity, music, and a hands-on Biblical science connection/experiment! If you need transportation or have further questions, connect with Jason or Sharon. We finished our last gathering on May 14, but will resume in September!

"Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle."
