ACOLYTE SCHEDULE  is posted at the south entrance for the summer months. Please sign up for 2-3 Sundays.

 

SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL’S THEME IS ROME: Paul and the Underground Church. Help with Summer Sunday School! Sign up now to help with Summer Sunday School. Each theme lasts for 2 weeks during June-August. There are different activities each of the 2 weeks that reinforce that theme. Volunteers can help once or sign up to help with the same activity multiple times. Opportunities for activities include

– Games, Crafts, Snacks, Actors in Dramas. We will also need volunteers to serve as Family Group Leaders for small groups of children and to serve as actors portraying Paul, Brutus, Lucia and Marcus on 5 occasions to share the Bible lesson. We cannot have a successful Sunday School for our children without the help of awesome adult volunteers, so please sign up at the table in the Narthex to help!

 

DCE INTERN: Our intern is Myrthe Harkenrider from Ft. Wayne, Indiana. She will be coming to Tulsa the first of June. Her installation is scheduled for June 11 during both services. There will be a reception and pantry shower held in her honor on the 11th at 9:30.Unless you took a slip for a specific item, we ask that you give Myrthe VISA or Target gift cards to purchase anything that she may still need for her apartment. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us as we welcome her to CTR. We are looking for volunteers to supply a meal for Myrthe during the first couple of weeks while she settles into her apartment. Check out the signup sheet in the narthex for the schedule.
