Community Dinner “Soft Open” on May 19

The launch of Community Dinner (formerly Dinner Church) will start with a “soft open” practice run for the congregation, friends, and family. Like many restaurants, the “soft open” will allow us to practice before opening to the public in June. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend Community Dinner on Sunday, May 19, 5-6:30 pm. If you are interested in serving on the Community Dinner team, please get in touch with Pastor Erick.

Questions for “Ask the Pastor”

On Sunday, May 19, during the message time of worship, you can ask Pastor Erick anything! The message time will be led by the congregation’s questions on the Bible, faith, United Methodism, or anything else you’d like to know. To give you the best and most up-to-date information, Pastor Erick requests that you begin asking questions with index cards in the Worship Guide (placed in the offering plate) or using the form found at www.clearviewumc.org/signups. You can still ask questions live on May 19 if you wish, but please submit beforehand if you can.

Children’s Bible Sunday

On Sunday, June 2, we will celebrate Children’s Bible Sunday. During worship, all of our children, infants through Grade 5, will receive their very own Bible. During summer Sunday School, the students will learn how to use their Bibles to learn and grow their faith life. Following worship, we will have a short reception in the Fellowship Hall to honor our children and their families. Parents, please complete the form using Pastor Erick’s email, or it can be found at www.clearviewumc.org/signups.

Church Leadership Team Meeting

The next meeting of the Church Leadership Team is on Tuesday, May 7, at 6:30 pm. Except for human resource issues, these meetings are always open to the entire church body. Please attend and stay current on all that is happening at Clearview.

You’re Invited to “May Movie Matinee”

Our siblings at First United Methodist Church in Gulfport have invited us to be a part of their first “Movie Matinee” on Saturday, May 18, 1-4 pm. We will be watching Jesus Revolution, sharing some movie snacks, and having a short discussion together! We look forward to seeing you there.
