No food sunday...& prayer request

TWO ANNOUCEMENTS

1.) Since the church-wide, fifth Sunday breakast was moved to this upcoming Sunday, June 6th, we will have to cancel our traditional "food Sunday." Regular classes will resume on June 13.

2.) The class has received an anonymous donation in the amount of $1,000. This amount is more than what the class expends in a number of years. For the class to simply keep this overabundance raises moral issues. As a class, we should pray for God's guidance as we decide how to be worthy stewards of this gift.

OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST
· We voted on a class picnic on May 16 at Chillhowie park. We'll begin eating at 1:30. More details to follow. Rain date, May 23.
· In about three weeks, we will begin a lesson from the book, "Experiencing the Word in Your Life" (Thomas Nelson publishers, 1994). A sign-up sheet was circulated for those who are willing to teach certain chapters from the book; slots are still available.
· The balance in our checking account is too low to use class funds for our "Experiencing the Word" book, so each family will need to buy their own. We'll be checking with some book stores to see if they can made a good deal for us.
