Communion All are invited to the Lord’s table who have been baptized into a community of faith, are living at peace with God and with their brothers and  sisters in the faith, and are willing to be accountable in their congregation. Celebrating the Lord’s Supper in this manner, the church looks forward in joy and hope to the feast of the redeemed with Christ in the age to come.

Thank you to Candy Slagell and Jordan Nel for making the bread for communion today.

T-Shirt Orders are due today!  Jesus has called believers to “go and make disciples.” Our shirts this year are designed to remind everyone who sees them of this truth. T-shirts are free of charge to anyone who orders a shirt. T-shirt order forms are still available next to the credenza.

2nd Quarter Member Surveys are due today! Once every three months, the elders are surveying a quarter of the membership. The survey is short and helps the elders better understand the congregation they have been called to lead. If you received or requested a paper copy of the survey, please turn it into one of the elders or Pastor Jeff.  If you received a link for the online version of the survey, please submit your survey today.

Bible Memory Camps High School camp is May 26th – 30th. Grades 2 -8 are May 31st – June 3rd. Talk to Margaret Schrock for registration information.

Elder Recommendation The elders would like to thank you for your prayers and  input during this discernment process. Our recommendation is to call Pastor Jeff for another five year term. Absentee ballots are available today on the credenza and we will vote on June 1st.

Singing Evening There will be no Singing evening services scheduled for the months of June and July.

Come & Go Wedding Shower Join us Sunday, June 1st to celebrate the union of Erin & Cadon Detweiler at 3pm and shower them with gifts. Loretta Propps and Carolene Jackson are hosting the shower. However, if you would like to help, let either of them or Jordan Nel know. The couple are registered at Target and Crate & Barrel.

Ministry Opportunity Toddler Time has had an attendance of 6-8 kids each week since the trial period began. CEC recommends this opportunity to stay! We will need your help to make this successful. There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the foyer, with a Toddler Time policy for your reference.  Please let CEC know if you have questions: Cindy Hunt, Faith Slagell, Margaret Schrock, Susan Shantz, and Echo Shantz.

Fiesta! Let’s Celebrate! Vacation Bible School is planned for July 14th – 17th. If you would like to volunteer, please contact one of the VBS committee members. We have opportunities for everyone! Allison Chupp, Becky Peachy, & Dana Selzer
