Memory Verse for May

(2 Corinthians 5:9) "Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing unto Him."

ATTENTION: ( This weeks bulletin is pending)

Personal note: (From David Miller)  Many of you ask about how my mother is.  I know you have been praying for her, and I deeply appreciate this.  She went home to the Lord at 11:20 New Mexico time on Tuesday.  She was 85.   Demetia and congestive heart failure had been affecting her for several years now.  

My sister and I request that instead of flowers, that a donation to Manuelito Childrens' Home in her memory would be nice.  

Thanks again for all your prayers and concern.  

GOOD NEWS!!!

Due to the changes in the virus climate, we plan to start meeting at the building on June 7th. for worship.  We will meet for morning and evening worship at the scheduled times, but not morning Bible class just yet.  

This is if no new outbreak in the virus happens before then. 

We still need to be vigilant to protect each other. 

This is for those who feel comfortable in public, and are not ill.

What to expect when returning to Worship:

• When entering the building, your temperature will be scanned.  (no touch)
• If you are asked how you are today... it's a serious question.  Please answer honestly.  If you don't feel well,  please stay home.  
• We will only seat in alternating pew rows.  
• Lords' supper will be single serving packaged or normal trays will only be handled by the server with protective equipment. (mask,gloves)
• Doors will be opened to reduce surface contact, so please keep noise down in the lobby if you arrive late or have to exit during services.
• Carry a mask, use it when appropriate. 
• We have purchased hands free appliances in the restrooms and will continue to clean surfaces as well as possible.
• Brother Miller is taking a class on sanitizing and virus abeyance.
• More information in the bulletins as they come.   

Looking forward to serving you all online this Sunday at 10:45.

Note that the bulletin is not being printed on paper at this time.  It will be online Saturday evening or Sunday morning.  Below these announcements is a link.  Just below "Current Bulletin"  Or you can just click HERE. 

Ongoing message until the status is changed:

Regarding the offering. (members only) 

It is suggested that you set aside your offering and have it ready for when we can meet again.   Or you can mail a check to the building if you prefer, drop it by the building if you happen to be by here (mailbox is on the East side by the door) when going to the store, etc.  

Call Tim Brown if you wish to electronically contribute directly.  He can give you the information.

We will be streaming Wednesday Evening but have no assembly at the building. (unless this is updated.)

Please continue to be in touch with each other and certainly pray for a swift end to this.   

What good can come out of this?  

We know that The Lord works in mysterious ways.  We can't often see what He intends accomplish by events.  

• Please consider that many people are a bit frightened and concerned about their health.  (an opportunity to show a better way to live)
• Couples and families are spending time together and having to bond.  Maybe even having a meal together and discussing things.
• Globally, people are being asked to act in compassion and sacrifice their comfort for the good of others. (a Godly attribute)
• The world has been asked to slow down and think about how they go about daily life.  

Shouldn't the keepers of true peace, love, and joy, be ready and anxious to take advantage of the situation and show them what we have? (That's us)

HEALTH TIP!

Door handles are a prime place for cross contamination and for bacteria and virus' to spread.  The most used door handle is in a public restroom.   

After washing your hands, use a towell to turn off the faucet, then the same towell to open the door.  There is a garbage can by the door to dispose of the towell.  

This is a good practice all the time, not just in an situation as we are in. 

Outside door handles can be worked with a sleeve, or a pencil, umbrella handle, etc.  We will attempt to keep doors open, or attended to avoid contact. 

Push the exit bar with your arm.  

If you go to the market, etc. keep two clean sets of nitril or latex gloves on hand.  Cash is dirty..... always..... The pin pads, and gas pump handles are also filthy.  A glove is a good investment.
