BECOMING A CONTAGIOUS CHRISTIAN WORKSHOP BEGINS JUNE 12
Beginning this Sunday, we will have a 10-week workshop held in the Blue Room on becoming a Contagious Christian. Some of you may have already signed up for this session, but if you didn’t, please come anyway. This “hands on” class will guide you in ways to share your faith with others. Class size is limited to no more than 15 participants.
HOME GROUPS RETURNING
Home Groups are a way to connect with other Christians to learn more about Jesus and more about your fellow church members. We currently have a few small groups beginning but need more volunteers to serve as leaders. Some groups can accommodate small children. Contact Kevin Stewart, Jim Farley or Paul Tucker if you are interested in becoming part of a home group.
SMILE FOR THE CAMERA!
Sunday morning after service, we will have a backdrop set up in the hallway and someone available to take a new photo for you to use for your CCB profile and in our coming church directory. You don’t need an appointment – just stop by after services on either of those Sundays.
SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS
Donating a portion of your blessings to the church helps its members continue the work happening here at Withamsville and around the world. There are several ways to give: placing cash or check in the box on the communion table, mailing your check to the church, or using a credit or debit card to give online through CCB.
If you cannot join us in person this Sunday, please join through our YouTube livestream.

SUNDAY MORNING
Adult Classes
John’s Witness to Jesus, Various Teachers – Main Auditorium
John’s Gospel reflects on different aspects of Jesus’s life than those in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. John says that Jesus did many signs in the presence of the disciples, but those which he has included were written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name (John 20:31). Each week, we will review a different narrative from John focusing on chapters1-11, with the aim of deepening our faith in Jesus.
