Prayer Requests:
This week we are asked to pray for Mike and Jenn Boer and their sons, Del and Pat Bosman, Helen Bowman, Alice Brakke, Tricia and Mairi Bravener. Suggestions for prayers would be for their spiritual growth, opportunities to see Christ in their everyday life, and anything else that God puts on your mind for them.
Announcements:
Our sermon next Sunday will be “Issues of the Heart” based on Jonah 3:10-4:3. Everyone is encouraged to prepare their heart for the message. The monthly sermon topics with scripture are listed each month in the Heartbeat.
We would like to express our deepest and most sincere thanks to our brothers and sisters at Hope In Christ that anonymously gave us the generous monetary gift at Christmas. We were so surprised, and our hearts felt your love and care for us during this time of need. We love you and thank God for you. God is so good! Mike and Diane Button
The Vitality Team wants to thank everyone who took the time to fill out the PULSE Survey. If you have not taken the survey, you have until midnight today to complete it.

The First CRC youth group will be hosting a Youth Unlimited SERVE project the week of June 25-July 1. Fifty-three students and leaders from Illinois, Minnesota and Montana will be attending. They are looking for some additional work sites for these groups. If you know of someone (neighbor, family, or friend) who could benefit from a small group completing yardwork, house painting, fence repair, or light construction, please call Dan Houston at 354-4560. They will be able to provide most of the supplies, so they are truly looking to help those in need.

Hope in Christ Church participates in the “safe church” program. One of the suggestions of the program is to have two adults in each classroom during Sunday school. Since this is not feasible, the council has decided that one volunteer each Sunday will observe the classrooms during Sunday school. If you wish to volunteer to be one of the observers or have a question, please contact the church office.
