COMMUNION SUNDAY — MAY 18, 2014

The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be observed this

Sunday, May 18, during both worship services. This is one of

the most significant events in our church life and we encourage you to take time this week and ask God to search your heart in

preparation for communion. Anyone needing prayer is invited to

join the pastors and elders immediately following the worship

service.

FAITH PROMISE EVENTS May 18, & 25 Testimonies of how people have seen God supply their Faith Promise commitments, and an opportunity to turn in your cards. June 1 Faith Promise results announced.

Pray with us about what part God wants you to have in missions in our church. If you have a family, this is an exciting way to have the children get involved and begin to pray about world missions.

DAYBREAK CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER

MISSION OPPORTUNITY HISKidZ children’s ministry is participating in a missions’ effort to

raise support for Daybreak Crisis Pregnancy Center in Columbia. Each family will have

the opportunity to sign out a baby bottle to take home and fill with donations for the

Center. You can take one per family, or one per child, whichever you

prefer. Please encourage your children to contribute to this by doing

special chores or jobs to earn money to help the babies. We will collect

the bottles June 15. Thank you for supporting us as we GO in the

community to serve others and share the love of Jesus.

Quiet CHS Students Testing at CPC

Chapin High School students will be in the church building for testing on May 15. If you will be in the building on these dates, please remember to be as quiet as possible.

Jesus calls us into a relation-

ship with Himself. We are not or-phans and we are not to live in

fear. We are to live in community

with the Triune God and with

other believers. We need to

personally COME to Him in prayer and worship and we need to

COME to Him with other believers

to praise and worship and GROW.

We need to be together. There is a

growing trend to stay at home on

Sundays and watch TV church services. It is convenient and easy

but it is not community.

This Sunday we celebrate the

Lord’s Supper. We will partake of bread and drink but also

spiritually interact with the living

Christ. I hope to see each of you

there. COME and worship! —Dan

“And Jesus said, "Come to the

water, stand by My side, I know

you are thirsty, you won't be

denied; I felt every teardrop

when in darkness you cried, and I strove to remind you that for

those tears I died."

“Do not let your heart be

troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.”

“I will not leave you as orphans;

I will come to you. After a little

while the world will no longer

see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live

also.”

“Peace I leave with you; My

peace I give to you; not as the

world gives do I give to you. Do

not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”

—John 14:1, 18, 27

Note from the Pastor:
