THIS WEEK'S ANNOUNCEMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

New Bible Study opportunity! Pastor Perry started a 6-week study on how we can become better at reaching our friends and neighbors with the Gospel. This began on Sunday, April 27 and will run through June 1, at 9:30 a.m. in Pastor's office. See pastor if interested.

It’s time to break out those feather boas, long gloves and fancy hats! King of Glory is now announcing the 5th Annual Mother/Daughter Tea, Saturday, May 10th ay 2:00 in the KOG Basement. If you haven’t attended before, you’ve got to join us this year. If you’ve come before, please pass the word to others and let them know that we have : scrumptious food, handsome attentive butlers, courteous redcap valet parkers, enjoyable entertainment, and engrossing crafts! Mark your calendars, and tell all your lady friends and relatives, or come alone – we’ll make you a part of our family. This is the glam social gala of the year and is not to be missed! Start designing your hat now and sign up early in the narthex. Any questions, please contact Cindy Meseke at auntcindy1@yahoo.com.

Equipping to Share Workshop is returning to KOG this spring! An excellent opportunity to learn how to be the best witness for Christ and to share your faith with others. Held Saturday, May 17 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. registration is $10 including lunch. Last year's presenter and much of the material have changed, so even if you attended last year prayerfully consider returning this year! See Pastor for further details. Sign-up sheet in the narthex.

New Worship Opportunity! After much discussion and prayer, the Board of Elders in conjunction with Pastor Perry voted to proceed with a new Monday night worship opportunity. This service will be called "The Refuge" and will be held every Monday night at 7:00 p.m. starting Monday, June 9, replacing the 6 p.m. Saturday service. There will also be a fellowship time from 6:30-7:00, so come early and have some coffee or a snack and visit prior to worship! This format and theme will be entirely different from the Sunday services, very informal, and will be using such means as video clips, movie clips, etc. to help convey God's message to us each week. So - if you are looking for an entirely different way to worship, and/or an alternative to weekend worship, come and join us at "The Refuge" every Monday night at 7:00 p.m. Come and communicate with God and see what He is up to in your life!

"Happy Birthday to You." Remember to put your birthday pennies into the "Penny-a-year" birthday box. You can honor relatives and friends birthdays, also. Think about the thought behind this mission project; God uses even our little bits to do His work. Don't hold back because you are not rich.
