Announcements
Wednesday Night Canceled—We’re going to go ahead and cancel the final Wednesday Night Supper of the year. This is so that construction on the McMillan Building can begin as soon as a contractor is selected. I look forward to picking up in the fall. Perhaps we’ll do Romans again? (Seriously, though, if you have something that you’d love to study, let me know)
Service—If you are interested in doing some cleanup from the tornadoes in Cleveland, please let me know. I can connect you with teams that are going to serve there.
UTC Fundraiser—June 11 will be UTC’s next pancake breakfast fundraiser! It’ll be at the O’Charley’s on Gunbarrel—please see me, Beth M, or Lizz for tickets! ($5)
New Hope News
Avery McCuiston is in Siskin, healing from his surgery. He’ll be home Sunday morning.
As announced at the Presbytery meeting yesterday, May 3, 2011, the Presbytery's Disaster Response Committee is requesting volunteers to go to Bradley County immediately to assist with clean-up after last week's tornadoes. We would like to have "Teams" to go. If you volunteer as an individual, we may consolidate you into a team once your name is submitted. Teams will be working together.
Besides volunteering to do general clean-up, we would also like individuals who have experience in handling chain saws and can bring one with them. We know of a crew in Center Church and there is a crew already developing in Greenback.
Please call the Presbytery Office if you can be a part of a clean-up team - 865-688-5581 or 800-542-4246.

Text for this Week
Luke 15:1-10
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Now all the tax-collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, ‘This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.’
So he told them this parable: ‘Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.” Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
‘Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.” Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’
