Weekly Update, May 22nd, 2026

Hi Church,

As we approach Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful for their sacrifice and for the freedoms we enjoy because of their courage. May we also lift up their families in prayer and reflect with thankful hearts.

 

Men’s Ministry Breakfast

We are excited to kick off a Men’s Ministry summer study together starting Saturday, June 6 at 9:00am. We’ll gather for breakfast, fellowship, and discussion as we work through the first five days of The Humility Project for Men together.

The Humility Project for Men is a study for men of all ages and life stages. Why is it relevant? Scripture and experience teach us that we all struggle with pride in various ways and it hurts our relationship with the Lord. We all need to grow in humility! There are 42 short devotionals. Cost of the book is $9. Please sign up and purchase your book in the church app or at the Connect Center.

 

Preparing and Serving Meals at The Light House

We need 4 to 8 volunteers to prepare and serve meals on Friday, June 12 at 3:30pm at The Light House Annapolis. The Light House is a homeless prevention center with approximately 45 residents. This is a great way to build relationships with those in need in our community. If you can cook, spoon food from a tray, or clean a pot, then this opportunity is for you. You may sign up in the church app or at the Connection Corner.

 

Digging Deeper with the Problem of Evil

As a follow-up to the sermon series on Job, Pastor Bryan will lead a two-part discussion about the problem of evil. He will organize the main points from the sermons and cover other key points about why God allows evil and how we should respond. We will meet in the multipurpose room at 6pm on June 7th & 14th. Please sign up in the church app or at the Connect Center.

 

Baby Bottle Campaign

Once again, we will be filling baby bottles with money to support Wellspring Life Ministry. With your contribution we offer hope and encouragement to women in our community who believe abortion is their only option. You ensure that she receives the education, support, counseling, and tools she needs to choose life for herself and her baby. Most of all, you show that she is worthy of love, respect, and a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

Pick up your baby bottle(s) at the Connect Center on Sunday. Bottles can be returned to the Connect Center any time between now and Father’s Day.

 

Potluck Picnic to Honor Melissa Gardner

We invite everyone to join us on Sunday, May 31st for a special potluck picnic in honor of Melissa Gardner, who has faithfully served our church and poured so much love and care into our children’s ministry. This will be a wonderful opportunity to thank her and celebrate the impact she has made in our church family.

The luncheon will take place immediately following the service and will be held outside on the hill (weather permitting). Please plan to stay and enjoy this time of fellowship together.

This is a good old fashion potluck so please bring a dish or two to share (entrées, sides, salads, desserts).
