JOIN US IN WORSHIP, FELLOWSHIP, AND STUDY on Mother's Day morning. The Kids Klub Choir will bring special music and Chancel Choir will have the anthem. Pastor Tom's sermon "The Victory is God's" will be based upon the timeless message proclaimed in Psalm 98:1-4. "All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God."

VERN FRYBERGER ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT!
Vern Fryberger has served our church as Chancel Choir Director for the past 23 years. He has announced that he will retire from this position at the end of May. Vern has done a tremendous job in leading our choir, and helping to provide inspiration to our congregation each Sunday throughout those years. Vern has directed the choir as they shared some 800 anthems with the congregation. Vern will still be with us, but not in this leadership position.
We love you, Vern, and we will miss your directing of the choir! We will have a special time to recognize and thank Vern for his leadership on Sunday, May 20, following the 11:30 A.M. service. Please mark your calendar for that time. We will announce details next Sunday.
