June 6 Fellowship Meal
Our next fellowship meal will be after service on Sunday, June 6 to honor the Class of 2010. Please bring your favorite main dish or salad to share. We will provide dessert, rolls and beverages. If you have any questions, please talk with Kathy Durkee (kannedurkee@gmail.com) or Kathy Wheaton (knkwheaton@q.com).
Reminder: Communion Sunday Food Collection
Each Communion Sunday (usually the first Sunday of the month) we collect canned goods, paper supplies, etc. to stock our food pantry. Please bring your donations next Sunday and leave them in the box at the back of the sanctuary.
Penny Crusade Week 3
Penny Crusade giving is jumping up. Through last Sunday we have received a little over $2,200.  So, we are much closer to our goal of $3,500. Good job!!
 
Penny Crusade is the one annual fund raiser for the outreach of the Gospel that is promoted by the Advent Christian Denomination of which we are a part. Seventy percent of the funds received go to overseas ministry, and 30% to ministry within the US. The Advent Christian Church has ministry in some 40 different countries worldwide. Right now we are in the process of developing a worldwide map that can be displayed at West Valley, showing every country in the world where we have a presence.
 
In keeping with Pastor Keith's messages on the churches in Revelation, please remember Jesus' words to the Church in Philadelphia: "I have placed before you an open door which no one can shut." There are great opportunities all over the world for Christian witness and ministry. Thanks for helping through Penny Crusade!

Youth Update


"PRACTICE!  We're talking about PRACTICE!"

We are having softball practice this Sunday, 1:30 pm, at Totem Middle School.  It will be a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of fun. It is also a good opportunity to invite friends and neighbors who play better than you do!

We will leave from West Valley directly following the morning worship service. All men are encouraged to join us - especially those who can hit or even catch a softball.
