Welcome to Locust Grove!
We’re glad to have you join us for our time of worship together. If you haven’t already attended, we would
love to have you also join us for Sunday school next Sunday. Sunday school is an important step in making
further connections with a smaller group of people. Ask for help if you have any questions or
need more information about our church.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Food donations
during May will go to Salvation Army.
Locust Grove will be hosting the 3Story Experience on Saturday, June 1 from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM. This is a free event that looks to develop
practical methods of sharing our faith and telling our story to others. Snacks, drinks, and lunch will be provided.
The Women's Mission & Service project for May is baby bottles for Sturgis Pregnancy Helpline. Pick up a baby bottle
