Thank You
Precious church, words cannot begin to express how grateful we are to be members of this loving family. The past month has been full of so many emotions, heartache, and pain emotionally and physically. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outpouring of love and prayers that we have both received between watching Corey's healing into heaven and Jimmy's recovering from his fall. Thank you for the plant, flowers, cards, calls, texts, FOOD at the hospital and home, funeral meal, visits at the hospital and home. Special thank you to the Clays’, Smiths’, and Calverts’ that just showed up at the very moment that we needed them and prayed with us and for us. And to Mark Ewig for his special gift for me on Sunday. We love you all. Regards, Karen & Jimmy Elmore

TODD’S TAKE
Good morning and welcome to our worship services this morning. If you are a guest with us this morning our prayer is that you are blessed by our time of worship and we invite you to talk to one of us about how God is working in the Park Avenue Church.
As we can see on the reverse side of the Messenger, there’s lots going on and many ways to serve and connect. If you have any questions about any activity or ministry feel free to contact a minister and we will be glad to point you in the right direction.
Today is our annual Celebration of Marriage when we honor couples who are celebrating multiple of 5’s anniversaries. Congratulations to them all.
In our sermon time this morning I will continue developing our Covenant Sunday Theme, Your Word is Truth. In keeping with Celebration of Marriage I will be looking at the truth about relationships.
So glad you are with us this morning as we celebrate our relationship with our Father!
