Children
Reminder – There is no Church School next Sunday due to Memorial Day weekend. Summer Church School begins June 3.
Christian Educator Appreciation Brunch will be held today. This is a special brunch for our Christian Educators and their families, who provide learning opportunities for our children, teens, and adults. Please join us as a way to say “thank you” for your service to the children of our church! We look forward to seeing you in Fellowship Hall.
VBS Supplies – As we are preparing for VBS, we are in need of some very basic items. Please consider bringing in your:
• paper towel tubes, which will become rain sticks, to simulate the sound of rain that Noah would have heard while in the ark
• empty water bottles (individual size), which will be used in many science experiments and discoveries
• empty (and cleaned) 2–liter bottles, which will become “SCUBA tanks” for our little ones
Special Opportunities
The Phoenix Children’s Chorus will be presenting their spring concert today at 4pm in the Sanctuary.
Jazz Brunch! – Live Music | Today | following the 10am service | Rhythm & Wine (S.E. Corner of Miller and Pinnacle Peak). AS@P is a group of single adults who meet monthly for lunch and other fun events. Mark your calendars and join us for fun, food and fellowship. If you have any questions or would like to be added to our email list please send inquires to Lisa at ppcsingles@pinnaclepres.org. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Have You Checked Out Our PPC Blog? In Echoes (of the Word), pastors, and occasionally program staff, of Pinnacle Presbyterian will offer reflections on how faith intersects with life. This week’s blog is by Rev. Kristin Willett. Check it out.
The Thoughtful Christian article for May is titled Bridging the Generation Gap Through Storytelling. The article provides an overview to understanding the differences between generations and trying to bridge the gap. The article is free of charge and can be found in the narthexes of the Chapel and Sanctuary.
