In-Touch Newsletter of the Worthington Coming this week: Sabbath, May 2 speaker: Pastor Loren Seibold. Sermon Title: Sorting Us Out.   Happy Birthday to everyone born in the month of May! Our prayer is that God bless you and those you love in the year to come.   This Sabbath's vespers service is the movie "Fireproof." This film has a beautiful, spiritual message that emphasizes ways to strengthen your marriage. The movie begins at 7:30p.m. and is rated PG. To see a clip from the movie, visit this link: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810036605/info.   Strategic Planning Committee Survey. Our SPC has put together a questionnaire and they are hoping that every member/attender of our congregation will complete one. I have pasted the survey into this newsletter at the very bottom. You can run a copy of the survey from this newsletter or you can get a copy at church. It is so important that EVERYONE take the time to complete a survey. Once your survey is complete, we ask that you drop it into the survey box in the church narthex, hand it to one of the SPC members or mail it to the church office. These surveys are 100% confidential.   We are currently running on a deficit of $33,826.70 and it's only April! We thought you deserved to know what we're spending our money on.

This month's theme is Spring Picnic, so think picnic food. Please bring an entrée and a dessert or salad to share.   AHHHHHHH! Thank you but please stop! The response to SSLC's request for plastic grocery bags was so tremendous, that they are now swimming in bags! As much as we hate to say it, we must…please stop being so helpful! (at least until the next time we ask for your help).   Our Choir is gearing up for their final performance of the season at a vespers program on Saturday, May 17 at 6:00pm in the sanctuary.   Worthington Women's Ministries group invites you to an evening with comedian Chonda Pierce in a video production of This Ain't Prettyville! Men and women alike will laugh until they cry and be blessed as God works through comedy to touch your heart. Join them on Sabbath, May 16 at 6:30pm for this delightful way to close the Sabbath!   Street Beat Ministry is collecting towels and toiletries for the residents of the "Friends of the Homeless" shelter. Items needed are towels, washcloths, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Items can be dropped off here at the church in the box labeled Street Beat.   Update on MaryAnn Buckles.  She is still being cared for at ManorCare, 140 Old County Line Rd. 882-1511.   Update on Eva Gates. She continues to be in SICU bed five at Mt. Carmel East Hospital.
