Wednesday, May 8, 7:00pm

Our next God’s Honest Truth will be on the theme Untold: Hidden Stories from Our Past. We are looking for your own personal untold stories that have had a significant impact on your life. Please contact Rev. Rebekah Anderson with your story or talk to her at church. If you aren’t telling a story, plan to attend to support and hear the amazing stories from our congregation.

Come join PW’s Traditional Salad Luncheon on Wednesday, May 15, at 12:00 pm in Fellowship Hall. After lunch, we have an exciting program for you. One of our own local cafés, Gerry’s Café, will be letting us know how they got started and how they provide opportunities for adults with disabilities. Co-founders Natalie Griffin and Amy Philpott will be telling us the history of this awesome café and where it is going in the future. This event is open to everyone in the congregation.

Our year-end celebration of Family Night. Enjoy dinner and fellowship as we say goodbye to another program year.

On Thursday, June 20, at 7:00 pm, please join Kim Hogan in the Parlor for a discussion of His Truth is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope. Civil rights icon and U.S congressman John Lewis, who at age twenty-five marched in Selma, Alabama, and was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, was a visionary and a man of faith. Drawing on decades of wide- ranging interviews with Lewis, Jon Meacham writes of how this great-grandson of a slave and son of an Alabama tenant farmer was inspired by the Bible and his teachers in nonviolence.
