Monthly Capital Campaign: The June capital campaign is for Partners Worldwide. Partners Worldwide is a Christian response to poverty that seeks to end extreme poverty through job creation and business development in the poorest parts of the world. 80% of the poor live in rural areas, and much of the work that Partners Worldwide does is to connect very poor small-holder farmers to quality inputs, biblically based training, microloans, markets, and technology, so they can lift their families and communities out of poverty. On Sunday, June 8th, Ray Middel from Partners Worldwide will share more on the transformative impact in more than 30 countries around the world. We will take the offering in support of Partners on Sunday, June 28th.
June Newsletter – The June newsletter was emailed out this week to everyone. If you did not receive it, please let Desiree Stoker know. In order to cut down on the cost of paper and ink, we will no longer be printing a copy for your member boxes unless one is requested.
SERVE Stephenville – We are 6 days away from the arrival of our SERVE Stephenville participants. Next Sunday, there will be a special SERVE Stephenville Commissioning service with Pastor Ryan Denton leading the morning worship service. The congregation is also invited to join the SERVE participants this coming Saturday, then Monday-Thursday evening at 7:00pm for a worship service. Then on Friday, our worship service will be at 8:00am before the group heads out to Fort Worth for the SERVE day away at the rodeo.
SERVE Stephenville Needed Items – As a reminder, we have a board set up by the member boxes with items that are needed for the different aspects of SERVE Stephenville. If you’d like to donate any items, please bring them back to the church by next Sunday, June 14th.
New Online Giving Option – We are pleased to announce that we will now be utilizing Tithe.ly as an option for online giving. This platform provides a convenient and secure way to contribute to the ongoing ministry of our church. An email was sent out this week with more information on how to use this service. You can also scan the QR code below to give digitally.
SERVE Potluck – Join us for a fellowship potluck next Sunday, June 21st as we welcome all of the students and leaders participating in SERVE Stephenville. Chicken will be provided as the main dish. Please bring a side dish and/or dessert to share. We ask that you be mindful that we will have over 40 additional SERVE guests joining us, so generous portions are appreciated.
We look forward to a great time of food, fellowship, and encouragement together!
Baptism of Sytze Klaas Vandermeer – We rejoice in the upcoming baptism of Sytze Klaas Vandermeer and give thanks to God for His covenant promises.
