ANNOUNCEMENTS

SABBATH PRAYER TIME: Join us in the “Engine Room” below the church platform for half an hour of prayer and reflection at 9:15 a.m.

REGULAR MONTHLY POTLUCK CANCELED: Since we have two potlucks planned this month (see below), our regular monthly potluck scheduled for this Sabbath is canceled. We look forward to potluck food and fellowship on May 11 and May 25!

SAVE THE DATES: We have two special weekends coming up in May.

• On May 10–11, we will be joined by Chris Blake. Chris has authored numerous books, is professor emeritus at Union College, and was the editor of Insight Magazine. Chris most recently retired from pastoral ministry in San Luis Obispo, California. He will focus on what it means for us as a congregation to be a part of the Adventist Peace Fellowship network of churches. Chris will also give us some fresh ideas on developing missional small groups.

• On May 24–25, we will host the annual Island Convocation in Anacortes with Dr. Michael W. Campbell as our featured speaker. Michael is an Adventist historian, theologian, pastor and educator. He was recently appointed director of Archives, Statistics, and Research at the North American Division.

• On both weekends we will have a Friday evening vespers at the Garden House, potluck on Sabbath at the church, followed by an afternoon/evening together at the picnic shelter in Washington Park on May 11 and Deception Pass State Park (next to Rosario Beach) on May 25.

WEDNESDAY PRAYER TIME: Join us on Zoom each week at 7 p.m. for study and discussion of the book of James.

AAF WORKBEE: Save the date for Sunday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to noon. More details coming next week.
