May is a busy month and here are some of this month's highlights:

Friday, May 20 at 7:00pm Sheila Raye Charles will be here to share her heart wrenching story of abuse, crack cocaine and prison through her music and story of her personal journey to salvation.  You will be touched and inspired by this daughter of music legend Ray Charles as she shares her walk from despair and darkness into the love and forgiveness of the Lord.

Wednesday, May 11 & 18 we finish our spring session of the Good News Club at the Elementary School.  It has been a great semester and it is amaxing to see God at work in the hearts and lives of these precious young people.  Thank You, Lord for Your provision!

Sundays in May at 9:45am we worship and continue to experience the teaching, ministry, and life of Christ as we follow Him through pages of the Gospel of Luke.  We are currently in Luke 9.  After the worship service, we gather at 11:00am into small groups for discussion of the morning's passage as it relates to our daily lives and relationship with Christ our Saviour and Lord.

Tuesdays in May at 1:00pm we gather to celebrate our spiritual blessings from God through the New Testament Book of Ephesians. This Bible study began as a result of our Celebrate Recovery ministry on Friday nights.

Wednesdays in May at 7:00pm we gather again for prayer and another look at Ephesians; we always cover the same verses as on Tuesday, but the conversation is always a little different.

Fridays in May at 7:00pm we celebrate recovery from life's hurts, habits, resentments, and addictions.  We are just starting Step 4 and the Spiritual Inventory this month, which is an exciting and powerful opportunity to learn the truth about yourself and your situation from God's viewpoint.  And don't forget, God "delights in mercy" (Micah 7:18).

May 29 we launch our 8th year of Mission New Brighton.  Come and find out what new thing God is doing in 2016.  Our theme verse is Isaiah 43:19, "Behold, I will do a new thing.  Now it shall spring forth, shall you not know it?  I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

May the Lord bless you and we hope to see you this week!
