Join us for LAAF on Tuesday!
Those 50 and older are invited to this month's Living Abundantly After Fifty (LAAF) gathering on Tuesday, May 19 at 10 AM. This month's gathering will feature a performance from the Roanoke Valley Music Club titled, "America- 250 Years of Music Freedom." Due to a scheduling conflict, the group will now be going to the Golden Corral for lunch. The Mission Action Project for the month will be packing breakfast for local student taking SOLs.

From Your Personnel Committee
Please plan to attend the worship service on Sunday, May 17 and then remain for a time of  finger foods and fellowship in honor of Greg and Kim Hetherington immediately after the service, in our Fellowship Hall.  If you wish to bring cards or letters for Greg and Kim, there will be a box for these items in the Fellowship Hall that day.
