SUMMER BIBLE STUDY
Wednesday, June 18, Christ Church began hosting an 8 week Beth Moore study on the Psalms which will continue weekly from 9:30-11:30am. Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent, is an in-depth look at 15 Psalms. These 15 psalms model how study participants can voice their own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us. Themes such as unity, joy and gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. For more information on Beth Moore check out www.lifeway.com/bethmoore. Childcare will be available for ages 6 and under. There will be a $20 fee for the study which includes a workbook. Contact the church office for more information or to sign up.

FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT
The men's ministry will be sponsoring another fun-filled "night at the movies" on Saturday July 12th. The night will begin with a dinner of hot dogs and other great stuff at 6:00pm followed by the movie at 7:15pm. And if enough of you think about bringing a dessert to share, then the night will finish with dessert!

THE FURNITURE CONNECTION
Families who call for help most often need BEDS (twin, double, or queen), BUREAUS, and DINETTE TABLES & CHAIRS. Couches and living room chairs are also requested. Other non-essential items are appreciated, if we have room to store them until requested. If you are freshening up your home this spring, or some items are lonely down in your basement, please consider passing them on to people who will be blessed.

The other constant need in Furniture Connection ministry is people with a few hours to give helping teams deliver on a Saturday morning. Call 884-8632 ext 151 to donate or volunteer.

TECH HELP NEEDED
Even our tech team needs some time off in the summer, so if you'd be willing to help out and give our dedicated tech team a break, please contact Kevin Kevin Johnson.
