Thanks to everyone’s help and participation in all of the events this Easter weekend!!
We will be highlighting areas of need for volunteers over the next few weeks. This week, we are focusing on media support—specifically our Facebook page and church website.
If you have average to above-average skills in this area, we would greatly appreciate your help in organizing how we post and promote our church events.
Please consider serving in this timely and important way.
“In order to accommodate some requests for a list of members’ addresses and phone numbers, we need to confirm that members are ok with that information being shared with other Shady Grove Church members. Please let Barbara McGuire know by April 15 if you DO NOT want your mailing address, email address, or phone numbers shared in a membership directory with other Church members. Thank you!”
Survey: Wednesday Evening Bible Study
We are praying and seeking God’s direction as we consider adding a Wednesday evening teaching/Bible study from 6:00–6:45 PM (prior to choir practice). This time would be led by Steve Gary.
Our desire is to continue finding ways to teach and equip our church family to better understand our purpose and to reach our community for Christ. This opportunity would be open to everyone, and especially helpful for those who are unable to attend the Monday Bible study.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback:
- Would you be interested in attending a Wednesday evening Bible study?
- Would this time work well for you?
- What topics or areas of study would you find most helpful?
- Do you have any additional thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you for helping us seek God’s direction as we look to serve our church and community well.
