THE BIRDING SMALL GROUP will meet at Stagecoach Lake, at 5pm, this Sabbath, May 10. We’ll enjoy the many migratory birds that are in our area right now and will be participating in Global Big Day. Birders around the globe will be recording the birds they see on Merlin EBird. This facilitates the collection of data on the health of bird species in our area. It's a great way for us to enjoy God's creation - and the preservation of that creation by contributing the data on birds that we see. We invite anyone interested in seeing common and unique birds to join us Sabbath afternoon. Please contact Linda Becker, 402.499.6192, if you would like transportation.

"Adopt-a-Spot!" With the ever-increasing usage of our church facilities, with a focus both on our internal needs and reaching out to the community, the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment, that is both safe and inviting, continues to grow. We are asking each family, each person, each small group, each Sabbath School, each pastor, each member to choose one of the 115 pieces of our church to keep your piece looking neat and clean. Many have already signed up and started cleaning. You can join them by using the link here, or checking out the list at the Welcoming Center at the back of the church on Sabbath morning.  It's not a big time commitment if we all get involved and help keep our church looking good. Thank you in advance.

In Myanmar, millions are still suffering in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake. In Brazil, thousands have lost their homes to catastrophic floods; in Uganda, refugee families fleeing war face hunger and overcrowded shelters with shrinking aid, and in both Ukraine and Gaza, the results of war continue to include caring for tens of thousands of refugees. These are just a few examples of the crises that ADRA is currently involved in. They have been severely hindered with the decision to withdraw more than 60 million dollars of support from USAID that had already been promised, and from which ADRA had already started allocating. This Sabbath is our opportunity to "step up" and support ADRA so they can continue being the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting world. Thanks for your support of the work of ADRA.

The Guardians Quartet in Concert: The Guardians Quartet is coming to Piedmont Park Church on Sabbath, May 10, at 7pm!

Each member of The Guardians brings a sincere commitment to glorifying Jesus Christ through their music and presentation. Plan now to attend this outstanding, free concert! Doors will open at 6pm. This concert is supported by your generous offerings. For additional information, call 402.792.2450.
