May 30, Friday: 5:45 P.M. – Movie Night featuring “The Ultimate Gift” from the best-selling novel by Jim Stovall. With an all-star cast that includes Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin, Academy Award nominee James Garner and Brian Dennehy, this engaging, heartwarming drama won the 2006 Heartland Film Festival’s Crystal Heart Award and received the Dove Foundation’s seal of approval. Based on Jim Stovall’s best-selling novel, The Ultimate Gift sends a young man of privilege on an improbable journey. Trust fund baby Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) loves all of life’s gifts, as long as they’re bankable. But when his wealthy grandfather, Red (Garner), dies, Jason receives a most unusual inheritance: twelve tasks, which Red calls, “gifts,” to challenge Jason to grow as a man. If he succeeds, the experience will not only change Jason forever, but he will discover the real meaning of wealth.
The whole family is invited for an enjoyable and fun filled evening.

Confirmation
We only have three more weeks of Confirmation! Our young people are learning about the beginnings of the Congregational Way, church polity, and the Biblical church model. They have studied hard for two years and will soon be joining the ranks of those who have been confirmed in our church.
The first Sunday in June Nora Kaeding, David Kahn, and Christina Wheeler will become members of our church as they receive the blessings of our congregation in a Confirmation service. Please encourage these young people in their walk of faith!
