1. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms today! Thank you for all you do for your family! Also, let’s be sensitive on Mother’s Day, as this is a hard day for some people. Some have lost mothers, some mothers have lost children, and some women want to be mothers, but haven’t had that opportunity. Let’s remember these as well.

2. There will be a photo booth set up in the Café on Sunday if you would like to take a special Mother’s Day picture. Feel free to visit the booth after the service.

3. Empower Bible Study meets Wednesday night at 6:30. We are learning a lot about the Parables of Jesus together. Come join us to gain a deeper understanding of the Word of God and how it applies to your life today.

4. Please note that there is a change this month concerning the Men and Women’s Ministry meetings. Due to Memorial Day on the 4^th Monday, both groups will meet on the 3^rd Monday, May 20^th at 6:00. The men will meet at the church and the women will meet at the Water Way South Clubhouse located at 170 River Breeze Dr. West Ashley. This is Eve Hiott’s neighborhood. If you need directions, please see Eve. Also, if you prefer to carpool from the church, feel free to arrange that with other ladies.

5. Our 4^th Sunday Potluck will be after the morning service on Sunday, May 26^th even though this is a holiday weekend. Please sign up in the lobby and note what you intend to bring so we can have a variety of food.

6. Our next Family Movie Night will be Sunday, June 9^th at 5:00. As always, the church will provide popcorn and sodas. Bring your own candy and a friend. Invitation cards are on the counter in the lobby. Pick some up on the way out and start passing them out to people you encounter over the next month. Pastor Paul will cover the Walmart in Goose Creek!

7. Pastor Paul and Traci will be on their yearly family vacation to Hilton Head from the 18^th of May until the 25^th of May. They will not be here next Sunday, but Paul’s 2^nd cousin, Nick Zerbst, will be preaching. Please come and support him. If you have any needs while they are away, please contact one of the Board Members.
