1. Ministry Team Survey – A BIG thanks to all of you who completed your service survey form. We know you will be blessed as you sign up for a new serving ministry or continue with your current ministry. For those of you who took the survey form home, PLEASE do not forget to complete it and bring it back to church. You can place your survey form in one of the red & black boxes. We want everyone to find a place to serve the Lord.
2. We will be having a Celebration of Life for Jo Carroll DeBoard on Friday, April 26th at 10 AM, here at the church, to share her life’s story along with her dear husband, Joe, family members, and friends.
3. Women’s Bible Study meets each Wednesday at 9:30 AM for snacks and fellowship. At 10 AM they promptly start the worship time, followed by break-out groups. You are welcome to join in on the Proverbs study, anytime.
4. The Women’s Ministry is sponsoring a CEF Bible Fundraiser, during April. You can participate in this project through a $10 donation. See THE ACTION BIBLE project table in the back of the worship center. We’re very encouraged by the participation, to date, about 190 Bibles so far have been funded.
5. Church Membership – Our next Membership Class will be on Sunday, June 2nd, right after the second service. A light lunch will be served. Membership application forms are available at the Welcome Center. Once you have completed the form, turn it in to the church office. Turning them in early will give Pastor Leonard time to review them and meet with you. We would love to have you join.
Also, if you have never been baptized, by immersion, and wish to do so, please complete a Baptism Application form. They are available at the Information Table.
6. Men’s Breakfast and Bible Study, Thursday, 6 AM: You don’t want to miss Pastor Leonard’s next lesson on the Abraham series. Join us for a hearty breakfast and fellowship. A $5 donation is requested.
7. We will be printing our mid-year Picture Directory in June. It helps staff and all our people to see YOUR picture in the directory. You do not have to be a church member to be in the directory. If you would like to add your photo or have a photo re-take, plan to come between services on May 19th or 26th. Photos will be taken in the church library/conference room. OR if your personal information has changed, such as address or phone, PLEASE complete a green directory card and leave it at the Welcome Center.
8. Don’t forget about our Missions Literature Display Center, directly across from the Welcome Center. There you will find information brochures and pamphlets about the missionaries we serve … both foreign and local. This is a perfect time to brush up on who these folks are and where they serve, as we prepare for our August Missions Conference. Help yourself and just know, they are updated regularly. A big thank you to Carol Davis for making this so easily accessible to all of us.
9. Some of you might want to send Vandy Lee a “sunshine card”. She had a fall and is now in a care facility for about 4 weeks. Her address is 1400 W. Gonzales Rd., Rm. 25, Oxnard, CA 93036
