Adult Bible Study:  The Times of Revelation

Announcements:

• Thank you to all the guys who joined together at Sid's for the Men's Prayer Breakfast yesterday.  Another great time to draw closer to the Lord and to one another as they serve together.

• The deacons will meet in Pastor's Office on Monday, May 4th, at 6:30 p.m.

• Thursday, May 7 is the National Day of Prayer, an annual observance calling Americans of faith to pray for our nation, its leaders, and communities across the country. While Sonoma Baptist Church does not have a specific event planned, we encourage our members to participate in local gatherings and events with like-minded believers as their conscience allows and time permits. May we be a congregation that is faithful in prayer — not only on designated days, but in all seasons of life.

• We are having a "Serving EachOther" Fellowship Brunch on Saturday, May 9th at the Fellowship Hall beginning at 10:00 a.m.  This is an opportunity for our men to serve the ladies and vice versa.  It will include pancakes made by the guys and go-alongs from the ladies.  There will be a short devotional also.  Make plans to come for a wonderful time of fellowship with the whole church.

• Brighten the Guest room!  Help us add extra warmth and charm to our Guest Suite in the Fellowship Hall! We’re looking for lamps and pictures that fit the earth‑tone theme.  If you’d like to donate, please speak with Janet — your gifts will help create a cozy and welcoming space for our visiting missionaries and such.

• The Church Council is currently gathering information regarding our existing church sign which is in need of replacement. No decisions have been made at this time. We ask that you join us in prayer as we seek wisdom and discernment in this matter.

• The Council is seeking volunteers for a team to help study and recommend ways to reach more people in our community.  Please see Sean Burke if you would like to help or have suggestions.

• The next Council meeting will be May 17th following the morning service.  All are welcome to attend and participate in this important time of transition for our church.

• There is a sign-up sheet for workers to volunteer for Vacation Bible School which will be held June 8th-11th this year.  The registration forms for kids to sign up will be available on FaceBook this month.

• This year marks Sonoma Baptist Church’s 20th anniversary.  We plan to celebrate in October and are collecting photos and memorabilia for a display.  Please label all items with your name and phone number and give them to Saundra Lange or Lyn Troike.  The Council is also looking for volunteers to join the planning team for this celebration.

• Now let's celebrate May birthdays and anniversaries.
