Judith Warren-Brown, who has been with us for the last several months, will be ordained to the diaconate on May 26 at 11:00 am in the Cathedral Church of St Luke. 

Judith will begin her ministry with us as a deacon on the Day of Pentecost, Sunday, May 27th.

I pray you will join Judith in this celebration and welcome her into her new ministry in our midst. 

Fellowship Under the Word Home Groups

Start the first week of June! 

The group in Sue Burley's house, Maitland, will begin meeting on Thursday, June 7 and will meet from 7:00-8:30 pm.  Paulette Webster will be the facilitator.  This is a women's group. 

The group in Roy and Bev Lassiter's house, Winter Park, will begin meeting on Wednesday, June 6, and will meet from 6:30-8:00 pm.  Gavin Lee will facilitate the discussion.  This is a mixed group (men, women, single, married)   

The groups will be following along with a wonderfully engaging study on Paul's Letter to the Romans designed for "everyone" by NT Wright.  This is a very "user-friendly" study - no prior Bible study experience needed.  These home groups are a great way to deepen our fellowship with each other, to pray for each other, and to have an easy conversation with the Apostle Paul.    

Although not required, participants might find it helpful to purchase the study guide (see photo above), at a cost of $10 through the Church.  If you are interested in participating in a group, and/or would like to purchase a study guide, please contact Terri Sims in the church office or by email her here.  

"The 5 Wishes"

Sunday, June 10^th 9:15 - 10:15 am in Roberta's Hall sponsored by the Pastoral Care Commission 

Donna Gray, Community Education Coordinator with Hospice of the Comforter, will give a presentation on The Five Wishes booklet. This is a  document that gives one a way to control something very important. "It is the first living will that talks about your personal, emotional and spiritual needs, as well as medical wishes. It gives one the opportunity to talk with family, friends, and doctor about how you want to be treated, if you became seriously ill. They will not have to guess what you want and/or make hard choices without knowing your wishes."

This is a link to the document in .pdf format.  Donna will explain the importance of completing this document now, no matter what our age or state of health, and she will explain how to complete the booklet.  She will also be available to answer any questions you might have.
