Good morning and happy Sabbath. May your shabat be blessed as you give this day to Him. Here’s how we’ll help:

“The Well” @ 10:30 in the Young Adult room of the church. Join us for music and the Word.

            IRR SS @ 10:40 in the Gear Room

            SHOCK SS in the second floor Ortner Lobby, 10:40am

            New Small group- This week Kayla Miller and Lauren Shields are starting a small group for Sabbath morning from 10:40-11:40am in the Engel Hall lobby. The plan is to go over the adult Sabbath school lesson with students, faculty, and anyone else who would like to participate. All are welcome.

            CVC 9:15 and Noon. This week our speaker is our own worship pastor Deneil Clarke.

            V2 @ 5:00 in the church for the MAU Music Festival Concert

Have a great and blessed Sabbath,

Pastor Rich
