NEXT WEEK’S OFFERING: MISSIONARIES: GLEN AND LAURA ADAMS (Resonate
Global Mission): Pastor Glenn and Laura Adams are finishing their ministry in Bolivia. Their
plan for the next three months is to say goodbye and finish up the ministries in Sucre. They are
praying to leave the last week in May, Lord willing. Then from June until September, they will
be visiting and thanking supporting churches and donors. Depending on the pandemic, some of
this might need to be done virtually. They will be continuing to work for the mission until
September 2021. Pioneers will then send out a resignation letter informing all donors and
churches that we will be resigning from our position as church planters for Pioneers. Pastor
Glenn and Laura ask you to please continue to support and pray for us during this major
transition. Please consider continuing to give as they finish ministry. Help them to finish well.
FAMILY CIRCLE: Continue to pray for all our seniors, those who suffer illnesses, and
those who are lonely or shut-in. May they feel God’s presence in their lives and may He
bring healing.
SUNDAY SESSIONS: Last time we talked about different ways to understand Revelation. This
week we are going to look closer at one part of the futurist reading that has had a big impact
on the way that we understand Revelation. We are going to look at the texts that are used to
teach a rapture of the church. After the online session, we have a time of prayer together. Join
us in person or on-line tonight at 6:30pm.

At-home Faith Formation Tip - The Practice of Listening: What would happen if we all
listened to others just as deeply and lovingly as God listens to us? How would that change our
family life, our work life, our interactions with our neighbor, or our online presence? (For more
on faith practices from Faith Formation Ministries, visit crcna.org/FaithFormation/Practices.)
