"Enter to Worship-Depart to Serve"
We need volunteers for Children’s Church during the 11:00 AM service and we need workers in the nursery. If you could help, especially during the summer for one or more Sundays, contact the office at 804-795-2772 or call Mary Holmes at 804-795-2864 and let her know ASAP!
Also, if you haven’t already, go to Facebook and Laurel Hill United Methodist Church (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laurel-Hill-United-Methodist/270561269647964) and LIKE our page. Share with your friends, too.
Pray that we might grow in grace together and that the Holy Spirit of Jesus might be the author of all of our summer plans! Don’t miss a thing. Get started with the Calendar for June and our church Newsletter!
This month is a growing season! It is a time for growing deep roots of faith and experience the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. It is time to grow more worshipful even in our times of grief and loss and see how the Lord is present with us in all of our trials. Every Sunday in May we have a special opportunity for growing in grace. First Sunday, we begin our Community Revival. Mothers’ Day, we celebrate and appreciate those who helped us grow up. May 18th we learn from the experience of Cathy Hendrick Weeks as she shares how God’s word was a strong tower that drew her out of grief and pain. The last Sunday, we remember those who have given their lives in service to our country and we come before the Lord with prayers and longing for the revival and growth in holiness of our nation.
Plan ahead and start your growing season in the Lord. Read the Newsletter and follow this month’s Calendar.
