For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those who he justified he also glorified.
Romans 8:29–30

MIDWEEK ADULT BIBLE STUDY
Wednesdays, Begins June 15, 11:00 a.m., Social Hall
The Summer Adult Bible Study, Living With Assurance, is a seven-week study beginning on June 15. Tommy Sanders will lead this study of the Epistles of John in the Social Hall at 11:00 a.m., focusing on how a person's understanding of Jesus impacts their daily lives in practical ways. John wrote to combat false doctrines about the identity of Jesus and how His identity impacted a believer's everyday life. As a believer we can have the assurance of eternal life by living in the light of our relationship with Jesus. Lunch is available ($5) immediately after in the Fellowship Hall.

ORCHESTRA LAB
Wednesday, June 29, 6:00 p.m., Social Hall
Ever thought about playing with the Sancuary Orchestra? If you have at least one year of experience playing a band or string instrument, then join us for our Orchestra Lab. We will try out some hymns, worship songs, and a few new preludes. This is a "lab," not a rehearsal, which means we will try things out, make some mistakes and try again. Join other musicians and discover how you can use your talents for the Lord.
