Avon Notices…

LT Minutes for June 15 are available below the mailboxes.

During the summer months, Worship Commission is trying out a new way of
= sharing announcements by projecting them on the screen on Sunday. We expect to learn and make adjustments along the way, and of course you are encouraged to continue to make use of the weekly bulletin. But if you have an announcement that you want to be included in the display, please email or phone it, with the wording you desire, to the worship leader for that Sunday (their names are listed in the bulletin the previous week). Submitting your announcement by Thursday morning will ensure that it gets included.

Prayers: Joys & Requests…

Please pray for the Christian Peace Academy that is in its 3rd semester and is hosted by a Korean Anabaptist Centre and other Christian organizations. Cheryl Woelk, who ministers in S. Korea, asks us to pray that the students may apply their learning of ways to build peace in their churches and communities.

Please contact the church office (519-273-2261) with prayer requests for the bulletin by Wednesday, 6:00 pm.

My Group - Youth
Keep your eyes on the bulletin and on your e-mail for events throughout the summer.
