BULLETIN
May 11, 2025
Happy Mother’s Day! We’re thankful for all the women in our church who serve as spiritual mothers to the next generation. We have chocolate and flowers for all women and girls as you exit today. Learn more about our women’s ministries.
Pastor Crockett is preaching this morning. Last Sunday our members voted to call him as our senior pastor starting July 1.
After the service we will have our small groups. Our evening service and Life Groups have been canceled as we celebrate Mother’s Day. Pastor Ontoy will provide Wednesday’s prayer challenge, and Pastor Huffman is preaching next Sunday.
