MORNING WORSHIP

Lead Worshipers: Bryan DeGroot and Praise Team
Offering: Unity Ministries
Welcome to Unity Church
Next Week: Due to our change in plans, the OTC will resume next week with a look at the life and ministry of Elisha. We will see what it takes to receive a spiritual legacy, and for Elisha, to receive “a double portion of the Spirit of Elijah.”
Old Testament Challenge (OTC): The fast-track readings for this week are again Week 26: 1 Kings 19:15-21; 2 Kings 2-6; and Psalms 84, 144, 145. For the complete fast-track reading schedule, go online to our website at www.unitycrc.org/otcreading. For those using the full version, this is a catch-up week. If you want to finish by May 28, you should be finished with Isaiah at the end of this week.

UNITY FAMILY CARES AND CONCERNS
Sympathy Our sympathy and prayers are daily going out to the families, friends, teachers, youth leaders, pastors, and others who mourn the deaths of Adam Mikelson and Jon Bonnema. We pray that the God of hope who promises to welcome home the faithful and to be close to the brokenhearted will wrap his arms tightly around our community during this very sorrowful time.Thank you
We want to express our sincere thanks for all your support and kindness in the loss of our precious mom and grandma. We were very touched by your prayers, words of encouragement, visits, hugs, phone calls, cards, gifts, flowers and memorials. We could definitely feel the love of God flowing through you to us in so many
ways. Thanks again! ~Dave & Arlene Groen & Family

UNITY CHURCH MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
Small Group Smorgasbord
Beginning Easter morning (April 16), there will be a “buffet offering a wide variety of choices” of material for your small group to consider for this summer. Every group is encouraged to participate, as well as those who are interested in joining a group.
Invitation to Pray
The Missions Team, and everyone else who wants to support missions with prayer as much as paychecks, is invited to come to Pastor Jeff's office from 9:00 to 9:45am next week Sunday. We will have a sheet of recent prayer concerns for each of our missionary families, and we will take time to pray for all of them. Our missionaries are very grateful that we support them with prayer as well as supporting them financially. Join us every first Sunday of the month for our monthly prayer time. If you cannot make it during this time, and you would like to receive a prayer sheet each month, please contact Sarah Brouwer or print a copy off the church website at www.unitycrc.org/missions.
