Just a few reminders about our upcoming weekend events...

First...don't forget that THIS Saturday, MAY 5TH is the Care Connections Workday in the Ranchos. Care Connections is a ministry that provides practical help and care to widows, those grieving the loss of a loved one and the hurting. ALL AGES ARE WELCOME...what a great way to introduce our kids to the mindset of serving others! If you are interested in being part of this rewarding ministry...meet at the back of the Flipside Church parking lot at 8:30am. We expect things to be wrapped up around noon...and then it's time for a BBQ lunch and swimming after a job well done!
