Earth Day/Creation Care Worship
This Sunday – the second Sunday in Easter – we will celebrate Earth Day with our own Creation Care Worship Services! We will have a special guest with us from Gold Canyon UMC’s United Women in Faith Circle, Rita Vadasz-Miller during our 930 and 11am services. Rita will deliver the Children’s Message at these services, and will lead our children through some special Earth Day activities during Children’s Church at 11:15am.
Here are the bulletins for tomorrow morning’s services:

New Sermon Series Begins Next Sunday: “Revealed” (A Study of the Book of Revelation)This series will be inspired by the book Breaking the Code, originally written by theologian Bruce M. Metzger. A partner study, using the book and featuring video presentations by Rev. David DeSilva (a United Methodist Elder and author of the Revised Edition of Breaking the Code) will be made available for those who would like to attend beginning the week of May 1. The Revised and Updated Edition of Breaking the Code is available from many booksellers in both paperback and electronic versions. Reading the book is not a requirement for this series but might be helpful as we explore the Book of Revelation, one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible.

Celebration of Life – Gay Tillotson
We are also saddened by the passing of our member and friend, Patricia “Gay” Tillotson. Gay was a dear friend to many at SoL and, like all of our friends who move on from this life to the next, will be dearly missed. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 7 at 11am at Gilbert Memorial Park. The family asks that Memorial Gifts be given to the Song of Life UMC Transforming our SoL Fund. More information is also in the bulletin.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow…either in-person or online!
