5/18/25 Announcements
Hello Everyone!
Today was a beautiful day at Englewood for our weekly worship service! We explored the story of Jesus and some of his disciples on the beach from John 21. If you were not able to join us in person, you can watch today's service back on either our Facebook page or our YouTube channel!
Announcements for this week:
1. This Tuesday, we are serving at Camp Hope for dinner. We could still use a few people to help us serve dinner at 5:30 PM. If you are willing to help, please respond to this email and let me know.
2. This Wednesday at 5:30 PM will be our next Religious Trauma Support Group in the Fireside Room. We would love to have you join us if you could use support in this area of your healing journey.

Information about our Congregational Vote on 6-8 after service
After many months of discussions, sermons, and conversations, our Englewood Vision Council has set a date for our congregational meeting to vote to officially approve our Wide Welcome Statement that we have been processing together. You can click here to read the text of the proposed statement that we are voting on.
This vote will take place on Sunday, June 8th, immediately after service in the sanctuary.
We are going to move our June potluck back one week so that after the meeting, we can all enjoy lunch together, picnic-style on the back lawn. Feel free to bring your lawn chairs, yard games, and a dish to share that day.
If you are not able to join us in person for this important vote, you can contact Christie Love or Sandi Vogel to get a ballot to vote early. Ballots are available now and can be turned into the church office, where we will have a locked ballot box available. We also have an online ballot set up. Please respond to this email to request an online ballot link if you need one.
