CHURCH SURVEY--To ALL members and guests worshiping today—if you did NOT fill out a survey in the last three weeks, please, fill out the paper form (located at the end of your row near the aisle) for each member of your family in worship today and return it to an usher before you leave. This demographic survey is a first step in the process of calling a new Senior pastor as we put together a “pastor profile.” For more information about the form of the process, contact the Church Office at 586-463-2921.

NEW SERMON SERIES—More Easter Please! Everyone loves celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, this Easter faith, hope, and joy can be easily lost in the day-to-day activities of our lives. Join us the next few weeks as we get “more Easter” and continue to focus on the resurrection of Jesus and what it means for us.
† May 15—More Purpose
† May 22—More to Come
† June 5—More of God’s Spirit
