SPOTLIGHT Ministry leaders, community group leaders, and East Campus Launch Team - you’ve got to be at our next Leader’s Edge gathering on Thursday, May 15th. Dave Ferguson, pastor of one of the leading multi-site churches in the country will be here to share their story and what they’ve learned. It’s a perfect time to get our group leaders and ministry leaders together with the launch team of our new site. We’ll have dinner at 6:00 PM ($ donations appreciated) and your family is welcome to join us. Our meeting will begin promptly at 6:45 PM. Please contact the church to let us know if you’ll be coming for the meal and/or meeting, and need childcare. May 11th is the last day to sign up for dinner. | |||||||||||||||

ANNOUNCEMENTS Baptisms in service: On May 18th and 25th we get to join many as they celebrate new life through the symbol of baptism. Baptism reminds us of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection and is a public expression of faith in Christ. If you have been considering this next step, please contact Doug Gamble at doug.gamble@suncrest.org. Suncrest is sponsoring a ‘garage sale’ in our parking lot on May 30th & 31st. All proceeds will benefit The Women’s Center of Northwest Indiana. Please donate your gently used items. We need people to help with set up and sales. Monetary donations will also be accepted. Please call Chrissy Book at 865.1219 for additional information. Mark your calendars! The 2008 Suncrest Golf Outing will be held on June 28th at Turkey Creek. Registration begins next Sunday, May 18th. More details to come. Beginning the Journey: Spending time in God’s Word is a necessary part of a Christ follower’s relationship with God and Suncrest wants to help you in that journey. On Tuesday, May 13th at 7:00 PM, we will begin a four week Bible study experience. Through selected passages, we will learn how to apply Bible study principles in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We will learn some basic principles that will help us to better read, understand, and apply God’s Word. Register by calling the church office. | |||||||||||||||
