Weekly Announcements
Special Friends for May
Everyone likes to be remembered, cared for, and reminded they are loved, so each month we recognize special friends in our church family who need a little extra care and would love to receive your cards, calls, and visits. Our May Special Friends are Carol & Jerry Kasten. Please send them a card or note to let them know you are thinking of them. Their address is 2131 Price Road, Eden, NC, 27288, and their phone number is 336-627-7350.
Adult Sunday School
It is a great time to join the Adult Sunday School class! We began a new study book next Sunday, May 12. It will be Adam Hamilton’s Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws. We hope you will join us each Sunday from 9:00-9:45 a.m. to be a part of this great Bible study!
Mother’s Day Tea
In honor of all women who have been great examples of loving mothers, with or without children of their own, we would like to invite everyone (guys and kids too!) to join us TODAY in the church Fellowship Hall for a Mother’s Day Tea immediately following our 10:00a service.
Trustees
The Trustee Committee will meet this Tuesday, May 7, at 7:00p in the Genesis Room.
Mother’s Day
We are now collecting names for our yearly Mother’s Day bulletin for Sunday, May 12. There is a donation of $5.00 per name, in either Honor or Memory of loved ones. Collection envelopes can be found throughout the church. Please feel free to place your names and donations in the small basket on the small table at the front of the church where bulletins and empty envelopes are located, or pass them on to Sharon in the church office. Envelopes need to be submitted by THIS Wednesday, May 8, to be included in the bulletin.
CDC Board Meeting
The LUMC Child Development board will meet at 9:30 a.m., on Thursday, May 9, in the 3rd floor “Friendship Class.”
Bojangle’s Night
Join us Thursday, May 9, for our LUMC CDC Bojangle’s Night. You may come inside or go to the drive-through window between the hours of 3:00-7:00 p.m. You don’t need to tell them you are with the CDC as all sales between those hours will earn us 10% which will go to our scholarship fund!
Finance Committee
The Finance Committee will meet Monday, May 13, at 5:30 p.m. in the Genesis Room.
United Women of Faith Annual Salad Supper
The United Women of Faith will hold its Annual Salad Supper at 6:30 p.m. in the LUMC Fellowship Hall on Monday, May 20. Drinks, bread and dessert will be provided. Please bring a salad or food you would like to share in celebration of our year end. All women of the church are invited to come and enjoy food and fellowship.
P.I.C.K. Recital
The P.I.C.K (Piedmont Instrumental Classes for Kids) program, which meets here at LUMC, is looking forward to its year-end recital on Mother’s Day afternoon, May 12, (next Sunday) at 4:00p. Our congregation is invited to attend, but come early - with nearly 50 students, we anticipate a full sanctuary filled with the wonderful sounds of budding young musicians. The PICK program is thankful, once again, for the wonderful support of the LUMC community!
Drop-In Hours
While you are welcome to reach out to Pastor Lauren anytime via phone, email or at the church, the following drop-in hours, Thursdays from 9:00a to 12:00p, are a set aside opportunity for connection and relationship building. Hope you’ll drop by and sit a spell.
Sunday Flowers in the Sanctuary
Just a reminder that you can sign up for a Sunday to be responsible for that week’s flowers. If you would like to remember a birthday, anniversary, baptism, in-memory-of, or any other special occasion, this would be the perfect opportunity for recognition. Currently, the cost of the two arrangements on the altar is $86 for both.
You may sign up for a Sunday on the poster located on the door into the church office or call the church secretary and let her know which Sunday you are interested in. It will be printed in that Sunday’s bulletin who donated the flowers and for what reason (if any).
You may also make a donation to the Flower Fund in any amount in lieu of specifying a week. Checks may be dropped into the offering plate (Flower Fund in the memo line) or mailed to the church.
The church will pay the florist bill. You will make your check out to LUMC and put “flowers” in the memo line. You can either pay ahead or pay during the month you recognize a Sunday.
Office Hours
The church office is open Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30-2:30, during the week and Friday from 8:30-12:30.
For your safety, our church entrance doors will be locked at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
