Reflections- "A wife of noble character who can find?  She is worth far more than rubies.  Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of  value.  She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.  Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:  'Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.' Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.  Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." Proverbs 31:10-11; 27-31

CHURCH MINISTRIES RE-OPENING PLANS- According to the Governor of Virginia's website, if COVID-19 cases continue to trend downward and vaccinations continue to increase, it is the Governor's intention to lift social distancing guidelines and capacity limits in June.  Based on that possibility, here is our tentative plan for re-opening other aspects of church life and ministries:

Adult Sunday School classes will resume beginning July 4th

Vacation Bible School will run from August 5-8, with closing program to be a part of the Sunday morning worship service on August 8th

Children & Teen Sunday School classes & Junior Church will resume September 12th

AGAIN, THESE PLANS ARE TENTATIVE, BASED UPON IF THE MITIGATION MEASURES ARE LIFTED IN JUNE AND REMAIN LIFTED.

MORTGAGE BALANCE REDUCTION- Because of your generosity, we were able to reduce the principal on our mortgage by $30,278.60 during the month of April!  The remaining balance on our mortgage now stands at $366,093.17.  Thank you for your continued faithful and generous giving!

NEW SERMON SERIES begins this Sunday-Prayers God Always Says Yes To.  We will be this series by looking at this question-Why doesn't God always say yes to my prayers?

Grace & Peace, Dennis
