If you would like to have one or 10 meals to take home PLEASE sign up on the sign up sheet posted to the bulletin board in the foyer area. We would like to have a head count of how many meals to provide. We would like to know by today, April 27th at 5:00 pm if you would like a meal. It’s all by Donation!! You can also text Chelsea at 580-210-6419 if you want to be added to the list! Thank you!
T-Shirts This year’s theme is “Be a Disciple, Make a Disciple.” To help the congregation remember the theme, based on the Great Commission, the elders are giving away T-shirts, free of charge, to anyone who turns in an order form. Order forms are in the bulletin and available on the credenza. Order forms are due by Sunday, May 18th and can be placed in the box next to the credenza. Hopefully, the T-shirts will be ready in time for Church in the Canyon, June 15th.
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.
2nd Quarter Member Surveys Each quarter, once every three months, a fourth of the membership are asked a series of questions designed to help the elders as they seek to lead the congregation. Today, a quarter of the members will receive a link for an online survey or for those who don’t participate in the call-em-all system, a paper copy of the survey is in your church mailbox. If you received a link for the online survey but would like a paper copy please contact Pastor Jeff or one of the elders. Surveys are due by May 18th. Completed paper copies can be given to an elder or placed in the secretary’s church mailbox.
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.
Invitation to Discernment Process Pastor Jeff’s term is ending August 31st of this year. The elders have begun to discern next steps. We invite you to begin praying about this question and ask for your input into our discernment. To share your thoughts, please contact one of the elders or simply come to an elders meeting. The elders meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. We hope to have a recommendation to the membership after Easter. And at that time the membership will be able to vote on the recommendation.
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
