VERSE FOR REFLECTION- Proverbs 3:1-4
My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you. Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and of people.

Everyone is also welcomed to join them in a reception in the gathering area after worship on Sunday, June 26th.
MUISC PREFERENCE SURVEY
As we look to the fall, the plan is to go back to two Sunday morning worship services. The early service will be at 9:17am and the second service will be at 11am. Sunday School will begin at 9:30am. We are still considering which service, contemporary or traditional, will go in which time slot. We are also hoping to start a second Praise Team to add to our variety of musicians helping lead worship. You can help our leadership out as we consider these decisions by filling out a brief survey. Click here to take the survey.
