 11950 East Reno Ave Midwest City, OK 73130 405-769-2717  This Sunday, May 10 is Mother’s Day. It is also Youth Sunday! I can’t wait to see what our youth have prepared for us as they lead worship on this very special day. In addition to our youth bringing us worship from their homes, we will experience special music. I also look forward to inspiring messages from our own high school seniors, Shelby Rubino and Zachary Walters! Our youth have been working toward this special worship experience since before we were unable to meet for in-person worship. A special thanks to them for adapting this worship experience for us online, and to Shauna Becker and our youth sponsors for coordinating and helping to plan this special event in the life of our church! Peace, Gary ——————————————— YOUTH NEWS… Youth Sunday is an exciting experience even if it is before cameras. Our youth are learning about the elements of a worship service & what goes into putting Worship together. We hope you get to see the service on YouTube this Sunday, but if not, the youth will be providing worship again after we are back under one roof. Church camp was cancelled after a lot of discussions and meetings. This year is a difficult year for all of us in one way or another and our youth are no exception. It feels like the disappointments of cancelled events just keep coming. Fortunately we have each other & we are doing our best to stay positive.  In the upcoming weeks our youth group will start exploring different ways to keep in touch and serve during this continued time of separation. As we explore what it means to be a Christian in times that are unexpected, I ask for your prayers for the youth group. What is only a couple of months to us feels like a lifetime to them. Thank you for your support during this time. An additional thank you to you who reached out to provide camp fees for our students. We are so grateful for your generosity! With love, Shauna Becker | |

Typically when we think of Mom, we think of the woman who gave birth to us. However, there are many other types of Mothers who are just as important in our lives. She’s the grandmother who stepped in to love and raise her grandchildren. She’s the teacher who lovingly shows compassion and guidance to her students. She’s the neighbor who “adopts” the young family next door who has no other family near them. So to all Mothers – Thank you for all you do! ————————————–  Check our YouTube channel mid-week for Music Notes Online! ———————————— ANNOUNCEMENT The Shriner’s have cancelled their spring fundraisers for this year.
