Beginners (Ages 0-4)...Wendy Rollocks Kindergarten (Pre-School ages)....saundra Brewer Primary (Grade School ages)...jann Stowe In the Sanctuary: Praise Time Season of Prayer Congregation /Musician Congregation Lesson Study Members Topic: The Law of God and the Law of Christ Memory Text: If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love (John 15:10, NKJV) Key Thought: "As the Supreme Head of the universe, the Creator God has established laws for all of His creatures. When Jesus Christ voluntarily transformed Himself into human flesh, He gave Himself to a life of obedience to His Father (Phil. 2:5-11) and to His Commandments. Thus, everything that Jesus taught, the perspective that He put on the law, even the new commandment that He gave, was always in full harmony with the law of God. ***** Purpose: To Make Disciples Core Values: Prayer, Preparing People, and Praise Mission Statement: To welcome with Love and minister to our families, our church, and our community.

More info visit Announcements - Page Three Finance Information (Tithes, Combined Budget & Expenses) Tithes - primarily support the preaching, pastoral, evangelistic work of ministers and Bible teachers. In addition, because Adventist schools are an ongoing ministry to students, tithe funds are used to subsidize selected administrative salaries and a percentage of salaries for teachers. Tithe provides for the support of local, union, division and General Conference services. Tithe is not used to purchase property, build churches or fund the general operations of churches or schools. Tithes are sent directly to the Oregon Conference to support the aforementioned efforts. Offerings-Combined Budget - Contributions to Combined Budget remain at Sharon Church to pay church operating expenses. These expenses include but are not limited to utilities, landscape, janitorial services, subsidies to PAA and PAES, church secretary, maintenance, supporting church ministries, purchasing new equipment, church repairs, building and ground improvements. Our monthly target budget is $14K a month. Financial Report January - April 2014 Year To Date Monthly Average Tithes/Conference Funds Received $ 67, $ 16, Combined Budget Goal $ 56, $ 14, Combined Budget Received $ 60, $ 15, Expenses $ 53, $ 13, Summary: Combined Budget exceeds expenses by $6.979 ytd / $1,739 mo avg. These monies will be used for upcoming ministry initiatives and evangelism outreach.. Your continued giving to combined budget will ensure that the church is able to meet its financial obligations and support our local ministries. This will only be possible with significant continued support to combined budget. What is Needed? We appreciate member s support of his/her favorite ministry. However once a ministry has received sufficient monies to support its goals, it may become necessary to direct additional donations to other church ministries or combined budget. This will provide balance and ensure all ministries are successful and the church remains financially sound. Please give accordingly. We ask for your continuing prayers and financial support to the Sharon Seventh-day Adventist Church Combined Budget. If you have any questions or know someone that wants to be a special blessing to the church, please contact Head Elder Troy Price or Finance Chair Derrick Foxworth (see back page for contact information). May God continue to richly Bless You!!
