RHYTHM AND GRACE EVENT
Come out and enjoy a free Celtic Gospel concert this afternoon at 3:00 at the Chapel. Rhythm and Grace (Alex & Miriam Duketow and their 9 children) from Peterborough, Ontario will be performing. No tickets are required to attend, and there will be a freewill offering to support children’s education in Latin America through Generation Rising.

CORPORATE FASTING
Each new month, we give an opportunity for congregants to join us in fasting before the Lord, humbling ourselves and seeking Him in prayer. Anyone is welcome to join on the first and/or second day of the month. To join the email list on Church Social, please speak to Heidi.

SUMMER RHYTHM
As City Groups officially wrap up for the season, please note that Further Study questions will be on hiatus until the fall. Please watch the calendar, as we look to bring back “Patio Hymns” for another summer season. If you would like to help put these nights on, please contact elder Matt or Heidi.

AN OMER OF MANNA
This month’s featured book called “You’re not Enough (and that's OK)” offers a timely biblical response to one of the most common messages in our culture: Believe in yourself. Allie Beth Stuckey helps expose the emptiness of self-centred thinking and points us instead to the sufficiency of Christ. Honest, accessible, and grounded in Scripture, this is a helpful read for anyone seeking deeper confidence—not in self, but in the Lord.

MONTHLY BBQ POTLUCK
Please join us as we welcome back the season of BBQ potlucks! Through the summer months, starting in June and Lord willing ending in September, we will be having our potlucks in the park. Immediately following the service, we will head over to Riverside Park. Please bring your own meat to grill, and a side or dessert to share. Please also bring your own chairs, plates, utensils, and anything else your family needs. In the event of inclement weather, we will stay at the chapel and pull the grill up to the steps to enjoy. Looking forward to a great season of potluck fellowship outside! Our first BBQ potluck will be held next week Sunday, June 7.
