COMMUNION EVERY SUNDAY DURING THE GREAT 50 DAYS OF EASTER - To more fully understand and experience the resurrection of Jesus, the Church celebrates Easter for a season of 50 days. To deepen the presence of the Resurrected One here in our midst at this time and place, Session has agreed to share Communion each Sunday during the 50 day Season of Easter (until Pentecost). This will not lengthen our service, but will help to deepen our connection with Christ.
-
THE MUSIC OF GRACE - Every time we hear that August Forster grand piano played, we will remember God's wonderful grace and provision. Dr. Piano has recommended a humidifier for our wonderful instrument because of our in-floor heat. The cost is $650 plus tax. So anyone who wanted to contribute but didn't get the chance--here's your opportunity! Our Heinzman piano that was given 12 years ago in memory of John Brown Jr. is now in our Worship Centre upstairs and will provide leadership for smaller worship services or for our music team to practice before worship, if necessary.
-
HOSPITALITY VOLUNTEERS are needed for the coming months. If you are able to help with this important ministry by preparing coffee and cookies following worship. Coffee & cookies are provided--home baked (nut free) goodies are always appreciated too, but not required!

Vacation
Bible School 2012.... SKY!
July 2-6 for kids age 4-12
- Our
theme this year is simple but exciting! At
Sky VBS we'll encourage kids to look for evidence of God in things like a
sunset, a rainstorm, a laugh, a kind word, or a tasty snack. If you'd like to
join the VBS team talk to Debra (678-1460 or
debra@hutten.org). Thank
you to all the folks that have volunteered so far. We have most of the
teachers, decorators, the PCW women for snacks, a music and skit team, outdoor
supervisors for recreational time and a registration team. I'm still in need of
a few adults and some young people to assist in classrooms and recess time and
registration. Young People---helping out with VBS is lots of fun and a
great way to share God's love with little kids, and... there's always candy and
great snacks! So talk to Debra about how you can help.
