BIRTHDAYS & ANNIVERSARIES

We have many birthdays and anniversaries this month. Click HERE to see who is celebrating! Perhaps say a prayer for someone on their birthday or anniversary or send a card to let them know they are loved.

ENVELOPE FUNDRAISING FOR KIDS AND TEENS

Our Kids and Youth are doing a fundraiser so that we can help them take part in discipleship camps and conferences this summer. There are envelopes hanging on a bulletin board in the sanctuary foyer with a number. Choose an envelope with an amount you want to give and put your gift in the offering box. Together, we can give our young people the push they need to participate in these life-changing events (Kids Camp, Youth Camp, and Nazarene Youth Conference).

LADIES NIGHT OUT - THURSDAY, JUNE 1

Ladies Night Out is Thursday, June 1st at Paradise Grill (1097 Tamiami Trail in Nokomis) at 5 pm. Contact the church office to add your name to the list. This takes place on the first Thursday of every month, so if you cannot make it in June then put it on your calendar for July.

SUMMER SINGLE SERVICE SUNDAYS – BEGINS ON JUNE 4TH

Starting June 4th there will be one worship service at 10:30 am. Sunday School will start at 9 am for all ages. If you are not attending Sunday school, maybe it is a good time to try – a great way to make new friends and grow deeper in faith.

POTLUCK LUNCH ON JUNE 4TH AFTER THE 10:30 SERVICE

Who doesn’t love a church potluck lunch? This one will have a brunch theme. Everyone is asked to bring something to share according to the starting letter of your last name: A-N bring a MAIN DISH; O-S bring FRUIT; T-Z bring PASTRIES, DONUTS, BREAD.  Thanks to Sharla May and her team who are organizing this event and two other Sunday lunch get-togethers this summer on July 2nd and August 6th.

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18th!  Donuts for Dads will take place from 10 am to 10:30 am in the courtyard.

TEEN CAMP – JUNE 19-23

This is taking place at our very own campground in Lake Placid, Florida. Register HERE. The goal of the camp is for every student to know they have been CHOSEN, CHANGED, and CALLED to do their part in changing the world for Christ.

GUEST SPEAKER FROM JORDAN JUNE 25TH

Samir Nazha, who is the president of the Jordan Nazarene Schools Board, will be in Venice to tell us about the exciting ministry taking place at our two schools in the cities of Amman and Zarqa Jordan. He will answer questions like: Is it lawful to tell Muslim students about Jesus and introduce them to the Bible? How important is Nazarene Child Sponsorship to the schools? What was it like 40 years ago when Samir was a student at the Ashrafiya Nazarene school in Amman?

SPECIAL PRAYER IN JUNE

Join us as we pray Psalm 20:1-2 – “May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.”
