FIRST CHURCH EVENTS AND NEWS
Gems: A Head Councillor is needed for Gems. We thank Hetty-Ann Stryker for her dedication for so many years. If you
are interested or need any information please contact Tyler Westera who is the chair of the Ed team.
Summer of Psalms: As we approach the summer there are a few things to bring to our minds as we start planning for
our weekly services. We have decided to continue in our Summer of Psalms series from last year and we want to hear
from you! What is your favourite Psalm and why? Would you be willing to read your Psalm on the day it is planned?
Contact Pastor Josh at pastorjoshfriend@gmail.com or at the church office to select your favourite Psalm.
All Request Songs of Summer: Though the Psalms are songs, we know of many hymns and choruses that are really
important to us. As an attachment to the bulletin over the next few weeks, we would love EVERYONE to answer the 2
requests there and we will work hard to program all of those songs into our services during the summer! The small form
is attached in this email is also able to be printed and filled in, then emailed or given to Pastor Josh. You can also go to
the church website to fill out the form: http://firstcrcreddeer.org/ministries/worship
