week, we will talk about a recent story in the news and connect it to
our faith. The goal is to talk about current issues through a Christian
lens. How do we react to these things happening? How do they
apply to our lives? Is there anything we can, or should, do about them? Join us in the
library in the SYC on Sunday mornings at 10:15.
The Vine - 11:00 a.m. Come join us at 11:00 a.m. on
Sunday mornings in SYC for a youth-driven worship service for
all ages. We use high-energy music, biblically-inspired messages,
meditation, prayer, and communion to offer an alternative-worship
experience.

Stephen Ministry
Summer is almost here with the joys of warmer weather. However, if you know a
friend, neighbor or co-worker who is going through a difficult time they might benefit from the confidential, spiritually-focused care and support of a Stephen Minister.
You can mention that possible need to Pastor Jenothy or Cathy Campbell or you
could give that person one of our Stephen Ministry cards which we make available at
the Stephen Ministry table or more privately in the restrooms. It is a good way to
demonstrate that we care for each other in Christian love.

three containers of water-bottles. Betsy Stockl has been serving at the Cove during
