Do you still have your red 3 ring History book?  Well, if you do, I have something for you.  Yes, we finally got the updates –updated.  The last time we had any inserts for the history book was for the year ending 2002.  We have put the last 13 years into 25 pages. We also have included a new list of ministers—page 12. 

The class of 2016 will be graduating in just a few short weeks.  This year we have 5 seniors who will be in that special group of young men & women.

            Patrick Buchanan, the son of Danny & Lisa Buchanan,
            Porsche Carlton, daughter of Jim & Laura Carlton
            Jacob Reynolds, son of Jason & Jennifer Reynolds
            James Reynolds, son of Jason & Jennifer Reynolds
            Reagan Whitehill, daughter of Kevin Whitehill
We wish each and everyone the very best with whatever their future plans will be.  So join us here at the church on Sunday, May 15^th, as we recognize these seniors, with a reception in the upper room at 10:00 a.m.

Sunday School Happenings —-It's hard to believe, but it's almost the end of the school year! You may be wondering what this means for summer Sunday school. The middle school/high school class will NOT be holding classes over the summer, but the rest of the youth classes WILL be holding classes. There may be some Sundays when all the children meet together in one class, but there will always be someone there for them. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher, or me. The adult classes will also continue to hold classes over the summer. We also are planning something different for VBS! There will be more information provided at a later date. ~Amy Smith 

    The church & parsonage improvements have been started:  The parsonage garage has been sided and a new doors and windows have been installed. Then, sometime in May we will be starting work at the church.  We are getting all new appliances and counter tops.  Some walls will have new drywall and painting will be done too. 

    Later on we will be doing more work at the parsonage and we are on the list for having tuck point work done at the church.
  It will be a busy summer!
