THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Be like bamboo. ​This week I was reading about the wonderful properties of bamboo. It’s both very strong, and very flexible. As we are becoming weary of sheltering in place and as the news changes on a daily basis, I wonder what it would be like for us to be more like bamboo. Read more HERE​. 
 
 
COFFEE HOUR: ​Join us on Sunday for our Zoom coffee hour from 11:30 - 12:00. It’s a nice time to catch up with others and share joys and concerns. The link is ​HERE​. 
 

SERVICE HELP: ​We’re still looking for Scripture Readers and special “Passing of the Peace” videos. If you’re interested in doing either, please contact Pastor Traci or Susan

TRIVIA NIGHT: ​Join us for a ​TRIVIA NIGHT​ on May 30th. Proceeds benefit the Deacon Fund! It’s all in good fun and to benefit a great cause.  Here is some information on the logistics of trivia night. 

1. After you purchase a ticket, you will receive login information. Please login from a computer or iPad on May 30th at 7pm 

2. Please also have your cell phone charged and ready to go. Your phone will serve as your signaling device. (for those who are familiar, we'll be using Kahoot as our platform) 

3. When we login, we'll spend the first 15 or 20 minutes doing a practice round, then we'll launch into the game. 

4. If you have more than one person in your household, you can choose whether or not you'd like each person to play as an individual, or whether you'd like to put your heads together and answer as a group.

5. Winner will receive bragging rights! 

6. Remember that all funds raised will go to the Deacons' Ministry! 

7. Please contact me if you have any questions!   

THIRTY MINUTE CHECK IN: ​Don’t forget to sign up for a check in if you need to talk. We can do a video or voice chat. My calendar is available ​HERE​.

You can call anytime, but I’ve also set aside Mondays and Fridays from 1pm - 3pm for you to “drop in” on the phone. Give me a call at (630) 643-6045. If I’m already on the phone, leave a message and I’ll call you when I’m free. I enjoy hearing from all of you.
