 More News from the Worship Board

            The worship board would like our folks to know that we have started work on two major projects.

            Visitation Team – We are beginning the process of rebuilding our “visitation team” to assist the Pastor on calling on shut-ins, visitors, etc. We have some folks already committed to being a part of the team, and would like to know if there are any others who would like to join them. If so, please contact the church office and someone from the worship board will get back to you shortly.

            Membership Review – Despite the fact that our by-laws specify that we should review the membership roles every three years, it has been quite some time since they were last reviewed. Consequently, it is quite an arduous task to bring those roles up to date. We share this announcement with you to alert you to the fact that you might be hearing from us soon.

This year, the Pastor has a new idea for our Summer Series. In the past, he has focused on one of Paul’s letters for several weeks during the summer. This year, he has decided to do a series on Great Hymns of Faith. Each week, we will focus on a great hymn as we look at the some of the background of each hymn and then explore some of the hymn’s theology. The summer series will begin on June 29^th.

^{Hymns to be featured this summer are:}

July 27th – Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

Aug. 3rd – In the Garden

Aug. 10th – Silent Night, Holy Night

Aug. 17th – He Touched Me

Aug. 24th – Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Aug. 31st – Blessed Assurance

And Sept. 7th – Here I am Lord

Tapes Available

            Occasionally folks are unable to make worship services due to other commitments or for healthy reasons. The Worship Board would like people to know that tapes of the worship services are available upon request. Just let us know. J

 Introducing – The Federated Flash

            What’s the “Federated Flash”, you ask? Well, it’s a news flash and more. The Flash is a new weekly email format that is part weekly devotional and part newsletter sharing the  happenings of the week, upcoming events,  and news of who needs our prayers. The devotional piece is a walk through the gospel of Luke, starting at the beginning. It’s a walk that will be quite informative and take some time. We have comprised a list of folks for whom we have email addresses, but we think there are more folks out there who might be interested in receiving the “flash” newsletter. If you are presently not receiving the “flash” and would be interested in receiving the newsletter please either email the church office (fedchurch@capital.net) or the Pastor (rtulip1@twcny.rr.com). We make every effort to protect people’s email addresses!
