Good morning,
I am so proud of our church! Of course because of our members but the church
itself is beautiful. So often I just come in the alley door and never go to the front
of the church. I was on the street side this week and the lawn and plantings just
look great. Even the house looks good!
That leads into this message from Robert Mosher who always does such a
beautiful job with the flowers behind the church, I am looking for flowers we can
transplant to the church. Need various types of Hostas, and Ferns for the front of
the church. Take a look around the church for what we all ready have in place,
and let me know if you have anything different. Also I am looking for wildflowers
that do well in shade. Please email me with a description of what you have.
A short note from Bill and Geri Wilson: We would like to thank everyone for your
cards, flowers and kind expressions of sympathy on the recent loss of our
beloved mother. Your kindness truly represents the spirit of hospitality within the
Seventh Day Adventist Church. May God richly bless you for your kindness.
This message came from Wilson Ndovie: I got a phone call from Barbara
Davidson letting me know that Edna was rushed back to Sparrow Hospital
Tuesday night when they noticed that she had a minor seizure. For the sake of
those who may not be aware, Edna was at Pines Nursing Home where she was
undergoing rehabilitation therapy after her hip surgery a few weeks ago.
Fortunately at Sparrow, when they run some tests, they ruled out that it was
stroke that caused her seizure. Yesterday she had an MRI scan but the results
are not yet out. We hope for the best. May we as a church family continue
praying for her, that she may heal quickly and more effectively.
Sabbath is a busy day! There will be the nursing home ministry this Sabbath at 2
pm. This ministry is so rewarding. Please come.
We will also be having a baby dedication this Sabbath. Miguel Gonzales,
Elizabeth BuWs nephew, will be dedicated.
There Will be a Singspiration at 6pm, Sabbath evening at the Lansing church.
Elizabeth Bull will be baptized this Sabbath (May 22) at 4 pm here at the
University Church. Join us as we celebrate her commitment to Christ.
Quote of the Week:
Make your work pleasant with songs of praise. If you would have a clean record
in the books of heaven, never fret or scold. Let your daily prayer be, “Lord, teach
me to do my best. Teach me how to do better work. Give me energy and
cheerfulness”. Bring Christ into all that you do. Then your lives will be filled
with brightness and thanksgiving.. . . Let us do our best, moving forward
cheerfully in the service of the Lord, with our hearts filled with His joy. {CG

Join us this Sabbath as Pastor David speaks on part II of his message from last
week: ”Who needs the Lines?”.
See you tomorrow,
Mary
