Pastor Matt will be on vacation April 21-23. Please contact Pastor Josh or one of the elders in case of an emergency.

Adults will begin a new Sunday School class running from April 13 - May 25 (except Easter Sunday when there is no Sunday School). The class titled “Studies in Jeremiah” will be led by Chuck Young.

Exciting Summer Sunday School Opportunity for Children: As Forestgate has done in previous summers, we are planning a special joint Sunday School series for elementary age children (PreK – 5th Grade) for the June-August Quarter. This summer we will use the Torchlighters curriculum and additional teaching aids to discuss 12 independent, though related, lessons on great heroes of the faith. But we need volunteers to help! We are searching for a third volunteer to join the Summer Sunday School Planning Team to help organize curriculum, class details, and volunteers for the overall program. We also need weekly adult (men or women) and teen volunteers in the following roles: Adult Supervisor, Guest Read-Aloud Reader, Teen Lead, Teen Helper, and Adult On Call. You can Volunteer for just one Sunday during the summer or for more – it’s up to you! Contact Rebecca Coffman at rebeccagcoffman@gmail.com for more details or to sign up to volunteer.

Ahoy, Maties! Save the Date! Summer Funner VBS: Treasure on Angel Isle is coming July 7-11, 2025. Watch for registration to open in the coming weeks! If you're interested in volunteering, email Mindy at summerfunnertheater@gmail.com.
