WOMEN’S TEA
Women’s Ministry
is holding a Tea Party on Saturday April 23 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. There will be
activities, a devotional, live music, refreshments, and of course tea. A
sign-up sheet is in the back of the sanctuary, along with a food sign-up and a
sign-up if you are interested in decorating a table. There will be a prize for
the best table! Women of all ages are invited!
SECRET CHURCH
Secret Church is
an international simulcast done every year by David Platt and his organization,
Radical. Navigate and New Life students have been invited out in past years,
but this time we are opening it up to the entire church! Come out on Friday,
April 29 from approximately 7:00 p.m. until midnight. This year’s series is
going to be incredible, as we are tackling the subject of “Who Am I? What does
the Bible say about… Sexuality and Gender, Race, Genomics, Abortion,
Infertility, Artificial Intelligence, Justice, and the Metaverse”? There is no
cost.
PRAYER GATHERING
Join us on Wednesday, May 4 at 6:30 p.m. for our next
Prayer Gathering. This prayer
gathering will be every other Wednesday and will be one of the ways we can bear
one another’s burdens as we seek to faithfully follow Jesus together. There
will be a potluck prior to the Prayer Gathering starting at 5:30 p.m.
NEWLIFE EVENT HELP
If you
are interested in cooking, serving, or just hanging out with college students,
NewLife is looking for you! There are two events NewLife will be having on
LHU's campus at the beginning of May for which we are looking for a few
volunteers. On Friday evening, May 6 from 6:00 p.m. -9:00 p.m. we
will be having an end-of-the-year bash for students. This will be a large event
combined with other campus ministries with a cookout, inflatables, and table
booths. We are looking for volunteers to help cook burgers, serve students food,
have conversations with students about the Bible, and pray with students. Tuesday
night, May 10 from 11;00 p.m.-1:00 a.m., we will be doing Midnight
Pancakes. If you have served with this in the past or are interested in helping
out, we need volunteers to make pancakes, serve pancakes, have conversations
with students, and keep an eye on supplies. If you are interested in helping
with either of these two opportunities or just want an excuse to be on campus,
please reach out to Robbie at robbiem@bigwoods.org for more details.
