3.  Sunday

Men seem confused of their own identity in our overly feminized culture.  God calls men to stand up and be all that he has called them to be.  This is not of the feint of heart but it is the only way men are going to change their world.  So get ready to MAN UP! (Finding Your Identity - Ephesians 2:10)

4.  Recycle Your Bulletins

Kudos to everyone who have placed their unused bulletin on the table by the exit doors.  It is just one step in taking care of the world that God gave us.  Thanks.

5. Celebration Golf Open 

We are hoping to put together a golf outing this summer before the leaves begin to fall.  We would get some twilight rates on a weeknight.  If you are interested, contact Pastor Matt or Mike Cerminaro.

6. Prayers  

- Pray for John Barrett's wife Mary who has developed brachial plexopathy. It has to do with damage in the spinal nerves.
