EVENING PRAISE AND WORSHIP

On April 27, the second "Evening Praise and Worship" was held in the chapel. Great music and worship was led by Chris Madden. We heard a challenging and thought-provoking video message by Louis Giglio and enjoyed popcorn and snacks together. The message was "Indescribable," which maps the new discoveries of the "known universe" to map the greatness of God. The images from the Hubble Space Telescope were breathtaking!

Thanks to Jake Holmgren for running sound, Belina Crider for backup vocals, and of course, Chris for anchoring the music. We are looking forward to the next service on June 1.

SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING

A special business meeting was held on April 7. It was voted to receive Kathy and Ron McGlinchey for church membership by letter of transfer.

After much discussion, the Dessert Theater Operation Proposal was tabled until the affected committees have the opportunity to discuss the proposal.

SPRING PLANNING CONFERENCE

The Spring Planning Conference was held after the special business meeting. A key item for discussion was the consideration of granting a Local Church License for Bonnie Moretto. After Bonnie gave her testimony and discussion of her possible role in the ministry of our church, a Business Meeting was set for May 12 at 7 PM.

Our church's bicentennial will be next year. Carolyn Ackerman nd Marion McFarland are setting up a committee to plan special events surrounding this event.
