Looking AheadThe acolytes today are Cooper Janse and Elle LaForge.

Assisting in worship today is Haley Histon. Haley is serving as a member of the Youth Mentoring Team this summer.

Rebecca Crowe is serving as the violin soloist today.

Pat Booker-Christy is the deacon assisting in worship today. Pat is a teacher in the Johnson Sunday School Class.

Communion Committee members scheduled to prepare today include John and Martha Burwell.

We light a hospitality candle today in honor of the GAIHN families who will continue to be our guests this week. They will stay until Sunday morning, June 19. The mission of the Greenville Area Interfaith Hospitality Network (GAIHN) is to assist local congregations to share hospitality (in the form of emergency lodging and meals) with homeless families and to help those families achieve self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment.

The flowers in our Sanctuary today are given in loving memory of David Cline by his wife, children and grandchildren.

The altar cloth on the baptistry today was a gift from our sister church, La Iglesia Bautista del Camino in Guanajay, Cuba. As a part of our covenant with this congregation, we remember them when celebrating the sacrament of communion.

Musical selections today include: “You Are Holy” by Per Harling, arranged by John Helgen, text and tune © 1990 Ton Vis Produktion AB, arrangement © 2004 Augsburg Fortress.
