Lets Talk about Scripture Sermon Discussion

Starting Sunday February 22nd
from 11:15 - Noon
At a round table in the Reed
Room, you can become
part of a discussion on the
Scripture and sermon
of the day. Get some food and
drink and feed your soul at the
same time! Contact Mike at
mikethornton@cvaumc.org for
more info or just come join the
discussion.

The Worship Team would like to

thank all who participated in the
Holy Conversations and provided
feedback on the proposed
Sunday morning schedule time
change. After meeting this past
Monday, we have decided
further planning and
collaboration with Church Council
is necessary before making any
changes. We did confirm that
Easter services this year will be
the same as last years, an 8am
blended service and a 10am
traditional service. On behalf of
the Worship Team, I thank you
again for your prayers and
support as we look outward to
become disciples of Christ.
