Saturday Sunshine

Isn't the sunshine wonderful?

Weatherman says it won't last too long, but at least we're having a great summer-like weekend. After the cool, wet spring, it is nice indeed.

Remember, Kenny Pearson will be with us to speak tomorrow morning. He works in prison ministry and we've contributed to his support for several years.

Some of the ladies are attending the Sauk River Retreat today. Thanks to Millissa for being so involved in organizing and supporting that.

Be telling people about the FRIENDS AND FAMILY DAY . . . Sunday, June 1st, just two weeks from tomorrow. We're going to have a special 9:30 service for adults that morning (children & youth classes will meet as normal).

In Memoriam - Bill Williams

We've received a message that Bill Williams passed away suddenly this afternoon in Wenatchee. He had been having a good day and was able to attend worship services this morning. No arrangements are known at this time. Our condolences go to his wife Kay and other members of his family.

Sunday Announcements & Prayer Requests

Attendance this morning was 87. Thanks to Candi Hobbs for doing such an outstanding job checking attendance every Sunday morning.

I didn't get prayer request cards from Allen, so forgive me if I overlook anyone. I know that Karla still requests our prayers for her dad, Dan Haggarty in Massachusetts. Aleceia Boomer emailed this morning with a request that we remember her daughter Cheyanne in prayers. Cheyanne has been sick for several days and the doctors have diagnosed it as mononucleosis. Also Becca Burke was sick this morning with a stomach virus of some sort.

It was great to welcome Samantha Rose Brown to our services for the first time today. She was born last Tuesday and is doing great.

Also remember the people in the Plains and Southeastern states who have been victims of another round of tornadoes. This has been a terrible spring for deadly storms in that part of the country.

Baby Shower for Silas Burke

A note from Karee Blunt asks me to publicize that a baby shower has been planned for Becca Burke and her baby Silas. The shower will be at 2 p.m. June 8 at the church building. Please mark your calendars!

An Amazing Act of Sportswomanship!

Tomorrow's bulletin will feature a story about an amazing act of sportsmanship -- or should I say sportswomanship by two players on the Central Washington softball team. The article by Alan Smith draws some valuable spiritual lessons from this inspiring story. Look for the article on the back page of Sunday's bulletin.

In the meantime, you can watch a video which displays the young women's character in a fine way.
