The Week Ahead and Beyond
This Sunday is the Sixth Sunday After Pentecost. Lucian Robinson will lead our worship while Linda finishes her trip to General Assembly. There is no one signed up to provide the offering of music. After worship, we will enjoy lemonade, perhaps on the lawn. We will celebrate communion next Sunday, July 12.
The church office will be closed on Monday, July 6, for the 4th of July holiday.
Financial reports for the second quarter will be sent next week.

Directory Update
Work to produce an updated directory continues. The corrections and updates that were made on paper last month have been incorporated into the database. Email was sent last week to a number of members and friends who haven't updated their information. If you received this email, please respond by July 7 with changes and updates or "it's all good" to confirm receipt. A draft version of the directory will be released in about two weeks for review.
