THANK YOU We appreciate ALL of our singers that have been a part of our Music Ministry since COVID came upon us; but a special “SHOUT OUT” is extended to our two young adult men, Mr. Darius Charles and Mr. Marvin Moore, who have given of themselves by helping to provide our music on a weekly basis. They did not hesitate to say, Yes, when asked. We sincerely appreciate your continued service and dedication, especially as young adults, to our Music Ministry.

TITHES AND OFFERING Tithes and offerings may be mailed in or brought to the church and placed in our secure mailbox. Thank you for faithfulness, it makes a difference!!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church

Holy God, above us, among us, within us: we rejoice this day that while you might have chosen to be unknown to us, you have revealed yourself in many ways. Each encounter with you calls us to return blessings with worship, compassion, and service. So, when we give this day, we do so in gratitude for all your parental care for us through your creation. When we give this day, we give because, in love, you gave us Christ, that through him we might find eternal life. When we give this day, your Spirit leads your church to reach out in compassion, mercy, and grace to all your children everywhere. In gratitude, we celebrate you, three and yet one. Amen. (John 3:1-17)

BLESSING AND SENDING FORTH Go in peace.
