This Week in Worship:  Why Jesus?  
Beginning this Sunday we will spend three weeks answering three questions that every church must answer.  1) Why do people need Jesus? 2) Why do people need the church? and 3) Why do people need our church?

New Summer Worship Schedule Begins, June 5th
From June 5th- Sept. 4th we will enter summer worship.  Our Sunday worship schedule will be as follows:
9:00 AM Traditional Worship
10:00-10:30 Coffee Fellowship
10:30 AM Contemporary Worship
We are very excited about this and will share with you in the weeks to come ways that you can help.  If you have questions about why we are doing this click here to read a letter from Pastor Gordon written to the church.  

Special Offering for Tornado Relief
This Sunday we will again be collecting a special offering to help with the tornado recovery.   The tornadoes that tore through the south (including VA)and east last week left us with heartbreaking images of destroyed property and the grief of lost life.  It will take years to rebuild these communities.  Once again we will have the opportunity to participate in a special offering for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).  100% of this offering will go to assist victims of this disaster and will go to both Virginia and Alabama efforts.  

Tropical Smoothie Night, May 24th  
Join us at Tropical Smoothie Cafe and enjoy great food for a great cause!  Come out to Tropical Smoothie in Short Pump on Tuesday, May 24th to support the Children's Ministry trip to Camp KidJam this July.  We will receive 20% of the event's sales from 5-8pm.  Flyers will be available at all worship services on May 22nd.
