THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER is an annual observance

held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all

faiths to pray for our nation. It was created in 1952 by a

joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed

into law by President Harry S. Truman. The National Day of

Prayer belongs to all Americans and is a day that tran-

scends differences, bringing together citizens to celebrate

our most beloved freedom; the freedom to humbly come

before God and seek His guidance in prayer.

Theme for 2016 is Wake Up America and is based on Isaiah 58:1.

SHARING IN TWO MAJOR EVENTS OF THIS

INTERIM PERIOD:

Sunday, May 22-a looking back, celebrating of our history; and learning from our past. A light meal will be provided following a look at our history.

Sunday, June 26- (same time) when we will participate in an exercise designed to help us discern God's direction for our church.

FROM THE INTERIM PASTOR

his Sunday we gather at

the welcome table. Many

of us can recall how sitting at the fam-

ily table gave us courage. It reminded

us that someone had our back and

that we are not alone in this world.

May the communion table give you

courage to say no where needed but

also yes to what God is doing in

the world. As preparation for the

coming to the table please read John

6:27-35 and Daniel 1:8-17.

Please reserve Sunday, May 22 for our

church lunch following worship and a

reflection on our history as a church.

This will be part of our envisioning

the future of the church. In identifying

where we are going we need to know

where we have been.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Bob Wallace
