“When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.”

Acts 2:1 Pentecost is the Old Testament

harvest festival – it happens around the time when the wheat and oats are ready to be brought in. Of course, this was a picture and foreshadowing of the great harvest of humankind that God means to bring in through the

preaching of His Word. God gives the seed, and God brings about the harvest. From first to last, in

things temporal and things eternal, we stand only by His

grace.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

WORSHIP/ACTIVITIES UPDATEWith the slight easing of the stay-at-home orders, we are looking at ways to slowly and cautiously begin to resume some activities. We will continue to send out messages as the situation warrants with more information.

BEFORE & AFTER CAREWe have resumed this program. Not too many kids presently, but we anticipate more to be added once the school year is completed. It’s just good to be back again…one small step towards “normal’! More updates are in the June newsletter.

JUNE EAGER BEREANThe June newsletter went out last week. It is a bit of waiting game (and guessing game) as to what we are going to be able to do in the comings days/weeks/months so the calendar is a bit empty still. We will try to keep you updated with emails and phone messages as we learn more.

* After publication, it was discovered that the online Thursday AM Bible Study was omitted from the calendar. That Bible Study WILL be held as normal at 10:45am each Thursday.
